Knicks Suffer Injury Blow to Key Starter Before Bulls Game

New York Knicks starter Josh Hart has been ruled out of Wednesday's home game against the Chicago Bulls due to right ankle soreness. Hart was downgraded to out on the NBA's official injury report after playing 27 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Hart's absence disrupts the Knicks as they seek to level their record at 3-4 under coach Mike Brown. Brown may turn to Landry Shamet or Miles McBride to replace Hart in the starting lineup alongside Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
