Knicks' Josh Hart: Exits early Friday
Rotowire
Hart exited Friday's 118-80 loss to the Pistons in the third quarter due to a right ankle injury and didn't return, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. He finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes.
Hart was seen getting his ankle examined on the bench before eventually heading back to the locker room. The veteran wing had notably missed the Knicks' previous game Wednesday against the Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain, but it's the other ankle that was bothering him Friday. The right ankle had previously been a concern for Hart, who missed eight straight games from Dec. 27 to Jan. 9 due to a sprain. The Knicks will presumably evaluate him Saturday to determine the severity of the injury before revealing his status for Sunday's game against Boston.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Fails to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Hart (undisclosed) didn't return to Tuesday's 132-101 win over the Wizards after exiting with 6:48 remaining in the third quarter. He finished with four points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists and seven rebounds in 22 minutes.
The Knicks didn't provide an explanation behind Hart's early exit, though he was spotted limping to the locker room midway through the third quarter. New York held a 31-point lead at the time of Hart's departure, so it's possible that he was held out for the rest of the game as a precaution. In any case, Hart's status will need to be monitored ahead of the Knicks' next game Wednesday versus the Nuggets.
