Hart (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Bucks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Hart is sick in addition to dealing with a sore right ankle, so he'll skip Tuesday's game, which will be the first of a back-to-back set. Landry Shamet should continue to start in Hart's absence, and Jordan Clarkson will have the chance for some extra minutes.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Will play through finger issue
Rotowire
Hart stated Thursday that he'll need to have his finger wrapped until he retires, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Hart notes that he plans to continue to wrap his right ring finger, as undergoing surgery would mean a full joint replacement and the end of his playing days. He's evidently learned to play through injury, as he hit at a clip of 41.3 percent from beyond the arc over 66 regular-season games a season ago. "Some days it'll hurt to catch the ball. It just, it varies," said Hart. "I wish I could tell you when I wake up, what's gonna be good, what's gonna be bad. But yeah, I mean, some days it's good like a regular functioning finger. And other days it hurts to just close my hand, to make a fist."

Knicks' Josh Hart: Extension appears unlikely
Rotowire
Hart said Monday that there hasn't been much movement in extension talks with the Knicks and that he doesn't expect a deal to get done, Vincent Goodwill of ESPN reports.
Hart is eligible for an extension but remains under contract for 2026-27 with a team option for 2027-28, so his comments don't create any immediate uncertainty regarding his status with New York. However, the lack of progress suggests the two sides may enter the season without reaching a new long-term agreement.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Eligible for extension
Rotowire
Hart is eligible for a contract extension, per Ian Begley of SportsNet New York.
Hart is under contract for 2026-27 ahead of a 2027-28 team option. The Knicks have plenty of other mouths to feed, as Karl-Anthony Towns is already extension eligible while Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby will be next offseason, so it remains to be seen how New York will prioritize its contract talks. Hart opened last year as a reserve before assuming a full-time starting role in late November, and he's locked into the first unit to open this season in the wake of Mitchell Robinson's exit.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-doubles in Game 5 win
Rotowire
Hart amassed 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Hart closed his season with another double-double, helping New York to its first championship since 1973. Although his scoring was, unsurprisingly, inconsistent, Hart's impact was certainly a major factor for the Knicks throughout the playoffs. In 19 postseason appearances, he averaged 10.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per contest.
