[Saba Sports News] Josh Hart sustained an abdominal strain in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, casting doubt on his availability for Game 7, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Despite the injury, the veteran wing player is expected to attempt playing on Sunday, though his participation is not confirmed. If Hart does play, his performance might be constrained, which would be a significant setback for the already depleted Knicks.
The team has been without OG Anunoby for four games due to a hamstring injury, and his return in Game 7 seems unlikely. Hart has been a pivotal player for the Knicks in the playoffs, averaging nearly 43 minutes, 14.9 points, and 11.8 rebounds per game under coach Tom Thibodeau.
