Josh Hart Hurt Then Ejected as New York Knicks Win NBA Abu Dhabi Games Opener
Josh Hart left the Knicks' preseason opener early with a lower back injury and was ejected after throwing the ball in frustration, playing seven minutes before exiting, team sources said.
- During the New York Knicks' 99-84 preseason victory against the Philadelphia 76ers in Abu Dhabi on October 2, 2025, forward Josh Hart sustained an injury and was ejected from the game.
- Hart aggravated a previous finger injury, sustained during the playoffs and repaired in July, which required him to wear a splint this season but left the Knicks' management cautious.
- During the first quarter, Hart slipped chasing a rebound, appeared to twist his lower back, went down in pain, and after frustration, threw the ball, earning a technical foul and ejection.
- Hart played seven minutes, scored two points, grabbed six rebounds, and said at media day, "the operation did not fully work," indicating the injury remains an issue for the season.
- The Knicks classified Hart's injury as "lower back soreness," stated it was not serious, and plan to monitor him before their next game Saturday at the same venue.
