Shams: Josh Hart diagnosed with abdominal strain
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Josh Hart has been diagnosed with an abdominal strain but will attempt to play in Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pacers.
Advice: Hart suffered the injury during the first half of Friday’s Game 6 defeat. He played through the pain until it became clear that the game was no longer in reach, with the Knicks ruling him out early in the fourth quarter. According to Charania, Hart will attempt to play on Sunday afternoon for a Knicks team already down multiple rotation players due to injury. Precious Achiuwa could return to the starting lineup if Hart cannot play. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Hart will be on the initial injury report.
