They’re currently tied for the #2 in the East with the Celtics<\/a>, but it’s been difficult for the team to find wins lately.<\/p>\n

The tide can turn around very quickly, though, as the Knicks<\/a> got a timely injury update on one of their core players on Sunday.<\/p>\n

What is the injury update on Josh Hart?<\/p>\n

NBA <\/a>reporter James L. Edwards<\/a> reported on Sunday that Josh Hart would be returning to in-game action tonight for the first time since Christmas Day when he suffered an injury.<\/p>\n

Hart has played half of his games off the bench and half as a starter this year, averaging 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists.<\/p>\n

In the 28 games Hart has played this season, the Knicks have a +7.3 NETRTG, while they have a -3.2 NETRTG when he has been out with injuries.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are 4-6 in their last 10 games played and will face a tough Trail Blazers<\/a> team on the road. Portland has a record of 7-3 in its last 10 games.<\/p>\n

The Knicks will be playing without Landry Shamet and Guerschon Yabusele tonight, but otherwise have a fully healthy roster available to play.<\/p>\n
