Trade deadline acquisition Josh Hart is expected to make his New York Knicks debut Saturday night at the Garden.
And no one is more excited than Jalen Brunson, who won a national title at Villanova with Hart in 2016.
“I’m very excited, and obviously, I’ve known him for a long time,” Brunson said after Friday night’s loss in Philadelphia. I just know that he’s one of those players who will give his all every time.”
Hart could have given the Knicks a lift Friday night as they collapsed in the second half, with Tyrese Maxey and James Harden leading Philadelphia’s rally.
