Knicks Face Uncertainty as Josh Hart’s Mysterious Back Injury Threatens Game 6 Showdown with Hawks

When he returned to the starting lineup just before Thanksgiving, though, Hart didn’t skip a beat. The 31-year-old averaged 12.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game for the rest of the season, shooting 57% on 2-pointers and 43% from 3-point range. The Knicks went 36-16 in Hart’s starts — a 57-win pace.

Hart has struggled with his shot against Atlanta, shooting just 37% from the field and 3-for-19 (15.8%) from long distance. He’s made his presence felt elsewhere, though. He’s grabbing 10 rebounds per game, including 29% of available defensive rebounds — the fourth-highest defensive rebounding rate of anyone to play at least 100 minutes in this postseason, behind only Nikola Jokić, Victor Wembanyama and Towns — to go with 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in his 34.8 minutes per game.
