New York Knicks swingman Josh Hart is not yet certain to play in Game 6, raising questions about how the team will confront veteran scorer CJ McCollum should Hart be unavailable.
The uncertainty surfaced Wednesday, April 29, leaving head coach Tom Thibodeau and his staff to weigh back-court adjustments before the pivotal matchup. No further details on Hart’s condition were immediately disclosed.
Hart has been a key perimeter defender throughout the series. If he cannot suit up, New York would likely be forced to redistribute his minutes among reserves while devising new defensive looks aimed at containing McCollum.
Game 6 is set for Friday at Madison Square Garden.
