Hart Leaves, Returns to Game vs. Lakers – Knicks Injury Tracker

Josh Hart left Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers early, venturing to Crypto.com Arena’s visitor’s locker room during fourth quarter action.

Despite the minor injury score, Hart wound up returning to the game and hit two crucial free throws in what became a 114-109 victory for New York. Hart had six points and five rebounds in 22 minutes of relief.

Josh Hart (knee inflammation) is listed as probable for the Knicks’ Saturday night showdown with the Los Angeles Clippers (10:30 p.m. ET, MSG). Hart has appeared in all 24 games for the Knicks this season, making five starts. He played 29 minutes in Friday night’s win over Phoenix and was a team-best plus-34 when he was on the floor, putting up six points and two offensive rebounds.

Immanuel Quickley is available for the New York Knicks as they open a five-game road trip against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night (9 p.m. ET, MSG). Quickley, who missed only one game last season, did not play in Monday’s win over Toronto due to knee inflammation.

The Knicks announced that Immanuel Quickley (knee inflammation) will not play on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG). Quickley was originally listed as questionable on the Knicks’ Monday injury report and will miss his first game of the season. The reserve point guard is the latest injury for the Knicks, who already learned that they would be missing Mitchell Robinson for the next 8-to-10 weeks. On a brighter note, Jalen Brunson is available to play on Monday despite leaving Friday game’s against Boston with a late ankle ailment.

The New York Knicks announced on Friday that starting center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will undergo surgery and miss at least 8-to-10 weeks before a reevaluation. Robinson was previously ruled out for Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG) after playing only five minutes of the Knicks’ Friday loss in Boston. With Robinson out, starting duties will likely move to Isaiah Hartenstein while Jericho Sims could find a role in the New York rotation.
