What happened
Mike Brown said he is not concerned about Josh Hart’s sore ankle, even as the Knicks dealt with another night of rotation uncertainty.
He also said Jalen Brunson can handle long stretches and heavy minutes, but he wants to avoid overworking him before the playoffs.
LINEUP CONTEXT
If Hart sits, Brown may need more bench minutes again, and Brunson’s usage could be managed more carefully later in the season.
