Why Knicks veteran Josh Hart nearly ignored a phone call from his new Knicks head coach, Mike Brown, during the summer.

During a recent episode of The Roommates Show with teammate Jalen Brunson, Hart recalled his first interaction with the Knicks’ new coach. “I was with the family and everybody, and we’re all at dinner, and I see a phone call,” he began.

If the New York Knicks hope to build upon the success they found in 2024-25, they will need Josh Hart to be healthy. Hart has become a crucial part of the team over the last several seasons, and they want him back and at 100 percent.
