Josh Hart Exits Game with Ankle Injury, Does Not Return for Knicks

Josh Hart exited Friday's 118-80 loss to the Pistons in the third quarter due to an ankle injury and did not return. He finished with five points, six rebounds, and two assists across 25 minutes. It's unclear if this is the same sprained left ankle that had him questionable earlier. Hart, who was averaging 14.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.4 steals over his last five games, was seen getting his ankle looked at on the bench. His next opportunity to play for the New York Knicks is Sunday against Boston.
