There is a chance the Knicks will be without a centerpiece of their bench tonight for Game 2 of their Eastern Conference playoff series with the Cavs.
Hart appeared to have been injured on the play before his game-changing 3-pointer that put the Knicks ahead 95-93 with less than two minutes left.“We will see how he feels,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau told the media after practice on Monday. “Usually with sprains like that, it’s more how you feel the next day. He said he felt fine in the game, so we will see where he is.”
The Knicks are 17-6 with Hart in the lineup and have outscored their opponents by 183 points when he is on the court. He averages 9.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 52.9% per game. , in 7:29 matchup minutes. Grimes held the All-Star guard to just 1-of-6 from the field and 1-of-5 from beyond the arc.The Knicks will almost certainly lean on their Sixth Man of the Year finalist Immanuel Quickley, who had a rough night on Saturday but iced the game with a pair of free throws in the closing seconds. Quickley finished 0-for-5 shooting and had just three points, three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes.
