Impact A lingering back injury from the preseason prevented Hart from playing against the Cavaliers on Opening Night, but he was cleared to come off the bench Friday. He struggled with his shot and played just 19 minutes, but he made that time count by grabbing a game-high 14 boards. Hart should usurp Miles McBride in the starting lineup once the former's back injury is fully behind him.

Will play Friday Hart (back) will play Friday against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hart acknowledged that the back is still giving him issues, but he'll gut it out and get out there for Friday's game. He'll come off the bench, and considering he's stating that he's not yet 100 percent, he will likely have some minutes restrictions.

Misses another practice Hart (back) did not practice Tuesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Hart has been dealing with a lingering back issue since the beginning of October and has yet to log a full practice. The Knicks will release their injury report Tuesday evening ahead of their matchup against Cleveland on Wednesday, but for now, it sounds like a questionable tag is the most optimistic designation his fantasy managers can expect.

Absent from practice Hart (back) did not practice Monday, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Hart missed the majority of the preseason with this lingering back issue. Coach Mike Brown didn't reveal Hart's status for Opening Night against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but the forward sounds questionable at best. If Hart is unable to play, guys like Jordan Clarkson, Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele could be more involved.

Out Friday Hart (back) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Hornets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Hart won't suit up at all during the preseason due to back spasms, and his next opportunity to play will come in the team's regular-season opener against Cleveland on Wednesday. The 30-year-old swingman was limited to individual drills in Thursday's practice, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Opening Night.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Hart (back) was limited to individual work at Thursday's practice, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Hart remains day-to-day with his ongoing back issues. His status for Friday's preseason finale against the Hornets remains in the air, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Knicks take a cautious approach. It's looking increasingly likely that Hart will be the sixth man for New York this season.
