Josh Hart admits he's 'not in a good head space'as his Knicks struggles mount
Key Points:
- Josh Hart is struggling mentally and physically early in the Knicks' disappointing season, shooting just 36 percent and recently finishing scoreless in a loss where he was benched in the fourth quarter.
- Hart revealed he dealt with a calf injury before training camp and an ankle injury that caused him to miss three games, impacting his conditioning and performance.
- The Knicks face roster congestion with many wings and guards, limiting Hart’s playing time, and coach Mike Brown has also benched Mikal Bridges, favoring other players.
- Hart hinted at the possibility of a trade to resolve the playing time issues, recalling a similar situation three years ago when the Knicks traded guards RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for forward OG Anunoby.
- The Knicks will face Barrett and Quickley twice in Toronto soon, as Hart seeks to improve his mental state and on-court contributions.
