OG Anunoby is rumored to be on the verge of making his return to the New York Knicks rotation this Friday following a nine-game, injury-induced hiatus. With this, many are wondering what might be in store for their starting lineup and, more specifically, what impact the forward's reintroduction will have on Josh Hart's role.
According to NBA insider Ian Begley, the answer to this latter question is likely not much.
During a recent appearance on Knicks Fan TV, Begley shared that he would be "surprised" if head coach Mike Brown were to slide Hart back to the bench once Anunoby is back in the fold, given his tremendous production coupled with the team's overall success since entering the first five lineup.
