The New York Knicks will be without a key contributor against the Atlanta Hawks.
Wing Josh Hart will be sidelined for Saturday's contest due to an ankle sprain, the team listed in their injury report on Friday.
Hart suffered the injury late in the Knicks' Christmas Day victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hobbled to the locker room to a loud ovation from the Madison Square Garden faithful.
The Knicks have gone 13-3 since Hart joined the starting lineup on Nov. 24. During that time, they have jumped to second in the Eastern Conference and boast the second-best net rating in the NBA.
Hart is averaging 12.3 points, 5.1 assists and eight rebounds in 28 games this season.
