The New York Knicks staged a dramatic comeback victory on May 20, 2026, with energizing swingman Josh Hart remaining on the bench throughout the decisive stretch.
Hart, often relied upon for his hustle and rebounding, did not re-enter the game while New York overturned a significant second-half deficit. The coaching staff stuck with a different rotation as the Knicks clawed back and ultimately secured the win.
No explanation for Hart’s absence in the closing minutes was immediately provided after the game.
