The injury storm hit the Knicks again. Josh Hart, known as the Iron Man, couldn't hold on, and he withdrew early in the Eastern Conference Semifinals G6 due to abdominal soreness. The Knicks lost the game and had to go into a tiebreaker. And then the problem also comes, if Hart can't participate in the tie-break, then the Knicks are basically unlucky, and eventually fall to injury.

Since Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Knicks have been missing four major players - Randle, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mitchell Robinson and Anunoby. All four players have the ability to start. With the addition of Hart, the Knicks can make up the starting five on the injury list, and it is a good lineup.

Thibodeau's use of personnel has once again caused controversy, and he likes to use players aggressively, so his team will have more injuries. Hart had the league's most playoff minutes played, playing the full 48 minutes on multiple occasions. Is the abdominal pain related to the long playing time? However, some injuries occur by chance, and there is no direct evidence between the two.

Hart's fall put the Knicks in a predicament. Fox Sports reporter Ivan Sidri spoke about Hart's injury situation after the game: "In recent NBA history, even a minor abdominal injury has been a typical timeline that says one or two weeks out. With less than 48 hours remaining, Josh Hart's form in the tie-break is seriously questionable. ”

Now it is not ruled out that Hart will be injured in the battle of the seventh. Hart's teammates mostly thought he would play. "I think Hart is going to play in the next game, and that's G7." Brunson said.

McBride, who came into the starting line-up, described Hart's situation in the dressing room: "He looks a lot better now, but I'm not sure exactly what's going on. All I know is that it's quite difficult for someone like him to take the initiative to ask to leave, which doesn't bode well. But I think he's going to come back strong. Centre forward Hartenstein said: "He is willing to do anything to get on the pitch. As long as his leg is not broken...... There is a possibility that he will play. ”

Hart has repeatedly portrayed people as a tough guy in the past, and when the big seven is coming, will he play. DiVincenzo was more gentle on Hart's injury: "Obviously, we don't want anyone to get hurt. But it's our season and we have enough quality no matter who's on the pitch. I've said it 100 times that no matter who plays, we have a blueprint. Thibodeau has specific requirements for certain players. So we're going to compete, give it our all and give the team a chance to win, that's our mentality, and we have to keep that mentality whether Hart plays or not. ”

How does Knicks coach Thibodeau feel about injuries? "That's the nature of the playoffs, it's what you want to play for, and if you like to compete, that's what you want," he said after the game. In the playoffs, there are often fierce confrontations, competitions, rush and confusion, and you have to go through physical, mental, and mental experiences. We are facing these challenges now, and all we can overcome is to keep fighting. ”

If Hart misses the Game 7, it will be a plus for the Pacers. But don't underestimate the Knicks' ability to stay on the bench, a team that's resilient under Thibodeau's tutelage and will fight until the last minute.
