Josh Hart News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

On track for opener Coach Mike Brown isn't concerned about Hart missing Tuesday's regular-season opener Tuesday against Philadelphia, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Hart was held out of Thursday's preseason matchup against the Raptors due to right ankle soreness, but it doesn't appear as though he's in any danger of missing the season opener. It'll be worth monitoring his status over the next few days, but all signs point to him suiting up Tuesday.

The Athletic: Josh Hart says he is forgoing career-ending finger surgery This summer, doctors gave Josh Hart the news that he required a joint replacement, which would prevent him from ever playing again.

OCTOBER 2 • NBA.COM

Will play through finger issue Hart stated Thursday that he'll need to have his finger wrapped until he retires, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact 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."

Extension appears unlikely 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.

Impact 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.
