HoopsHype: Josh Hart Expected to Decline Contract Option, Stay with Knicks

New York Knicks wing Josh Hart is expected to decline the $13 million player option in his contract for the 2023-24 NBA season, becoming an unrestricted free agent. Hart is also expected to re-sign with the Knicks in the off-season, given his fit with the team. The Portland Trail Blazers traded the 28-year-old to New York at the NBA Trade Deadline in a four-team deal, receiving forward Cam Reddish, guard Ryan Arcidiacano, and a conditional first-round pick from the Knicks, plus guard Matisse Thybulle from the Philadelphia 76ers in the deal.
