The number of minutes played by Josh Hart in this off-season? 374. Doing some quick calculations, the player of New York Knicks he therefore remained on the bench for only fifteen minutes. Statistics (and numbers in hand: 17 points and 12 rebounds on average) that should exalt the impact and importance of #3 moles playoff, against the Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers. From here the provocation: it is worth putting a danger a memorable run so far for the franchise risking yet another injury?

Injuries: a constant at the Knicks
“Yes, at some point I thought I’d let him rest a minute. But luckily it was only one thought passenger”. Coach Tom Thibodeau he jokes like this in the post-match, in reality there should be one reflection on the management by Hart. A wake-up call that is worrying just by reading it media minutes: in last five races (one of these finished atovertime), the Knicks player played 48.2 minutes per game and with tonight’s, the number of consecutive quarters sale a ten.
The latest NBA player with 4 games of 48 minutes in the playoffs before Hart? Jimmy Butler In the 2013in the times of Bulls. Even in that case, the coach was Thibodeau himself. The same one who witnessed firsthand the injury that turned his career upside down Derrick Rosejust to name one.
Besides the victory (which is never a given), there is another constant in New York: injuries. In addition to the now known Randlethe various ones are added to the list Bogdanović, Robinson e Anunoby in the month of May alone. And as if that wasn’t enough – in the last game against the Pacers – the fans also held their breath for the star Brunson who, despite the foot injury in the first half, returned to the pitch. To Josh Hart, however, the situation don’t worry: “Anunoby’s stop? I’ll play 48 minutes anyway: I don’t give a f***.”
What Pedri’s precedent in football teaches us
A record season… but one that must not be replicated. Example of how the rest at any age and at any level it does not have to be I underestimate. Super athletes certainly, but not super-men. In the 2020/2021 the midfielder of Barcelona Pedri game 73 games, between club and national team. Then, one injury after another and a physical precariousness that he still carries with him today. Since that year without breaks, three continuous stops have followed: 9 injuries e 75 games missed. For now the Spanish star’s career has been limited by that feat of strength. Lo stacanovista Hart thus, it risks becoming another case: a lot riskyHow much foretold.
