Miles McBride, who missed the last seven games with a left ankle sprain, was upgraded to questionable for Saturday’s game against the Hawks, the Knicks announced. Josh Hart, meanwhile, was ruled out of the contest in Atlanta with a right ankle sprain, an injury he sustained in the fourth quarter of a Christmas victory over the Cavaliers.

Josh Hart and the New York Knicks won the 2025 NBA Cup last November after beating the Victor Wembanyama-led San Antonio Spurs.

In a recent viral clip from the Timberwolves vs Knicks game, Josh Hart was seen screaming at teammate Mohamed Diawara.

It didn't take long for Josh Hart to see that his prank on Jalen Brunson was a big topic of discussion amongst NBA fans, and he took to X to post a response. As for what he had to say for himself, he really could only laugh at the situation and how it was caught on camera:

The New York Knicks will be without Josh Hart when they lock horns against the Atlanta Hawks in a regular-season game on Saturday.

“Damn in 4k,” Hart lightheartedly posted on X with four laughing crying emojis after a video showed Hart stretching his thumb right behind Brunson’s rear end. Hart and the Knicks were celebrating their NBA Cup championship, having just defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 124-113, to seal the third edition of this regular-season tournament.

Josh Hart’s remark regarding Jalen Brunson, stating "Inch for Inch," sparked a series of wild joke sessions among fans.

The Knicks face another rotation test ahead of their road matchup with the Hawks as availability questions resurface.
