The playoffs one year ago were a war of attrition for the Knicks, and one they ultimately could not survive as one lineup regular after another went down with injuries before a second-round elimination by the Pacers.<\/p>\n
This physical first-round series against the Pistons has been taking a toll on the Knicks\u2019 health, as well.<\/p>\n
Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson were forced to the bench with just under three minutes \u00a0remaining in the fourth quarter, and Tom Thibodeau declined to use his final timeout to get them back into the game until the closing seconds.<\/p>\n
The duo reported back to the scorer\u2019s table just past the 2-minute mark, but Brunson and Hart didn\u2019t get back onto the court until 27.1 seconds remained in a 106-103 loss to the Pistons in Game 5 on Thursday at MSG.<\/p>\n
For Brunson, it marked the fourth time in the series that he hobbled off the court after also missing nearly all of March with a badly sprained ankle. <\/p>\n
Hart apparently injured a wrist when he fell to the floor following a Jalen Duren dunk with 3:09 to go.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m all good,\u201d Brunson said in what has become a typical response for him, before also insisting at the end of the interview that he is \u201cfine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thibodeau also used his standard answer that he hadn\u2019t \u201ctalked to medical yet,\u201d but he noted that Brunson, Hart and at some point OG Anunoby all \u201chad to go out\u201d of the game.<\/p>\n
Cam Payne and Miles McBride replaced Brunson and Hart with the Knicks trailing 97-95 with 2:57 to go. <\/p>\n
Payne missed his lone shot during that stint before the starters returned, and McBride later missed two free throws (the second intentionally) with the Knicks down by three with 2.1 ticks on the clock. \/<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s tough, but I have the utmost faith, regardless of the result, in my teammates, whoever is out there. Trust, faith, belief all of that. I\u2019ll always have that with my teammates,\u201d said Brunson, who finished with just 16 points on 4-for-16 shooting in 36 minutes. \u201cPersonally, I didn\u2019t make good decisions. The ball wasn\u2019t going in the hoop for me. I gotta control things I can control and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knicks already were without since-traded Julius Randle to open last year\u2019s playoffs, before Mitchell Robinson and Anunoby also missed games against the Sixers and\/or the Pacers.<\/p>\n
Hart also played through an injured hip in the latter series, while Brunson suffered a broken hand in a Game 7 elimination loss to the Pacers.<\/p>\n
The Knicks are getting banged up all over again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just needed to regroup, walk it off and try to go back in,\u201d said Hart, who then added this when asked \u201cwhich wrist\u201d is bothering him: \u201cMy whole body is bothering me. Wrist, back, butt. A little bit of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
