Josh Hart not stressed over Knicks tabling extension talks: ‘Everything is going to work out’
With no deal in place and the Knicks now saying they’ll be tabling contract extension talks until later in the year, Josh Hart isn't stressing.
Josh Hart has expressed that he is not anxious about the New York Knicks postponing their talks regarding a new contract extension. In the early days of the training camp, Hart had expressed his desire to finalize a new deal before the start of the season. However, the team has now decided to postpone those discussions until later in the year.
During a recent interview, Hart mentioned that he has high expectations for the team and that focusing on the season is his top priority. Although he previously expressed concerns about his uncertain future, Hart believes that it shouldn't be a distraction. He stated that he is still under contract with the Knicks and that they have a great team trying to repeat in the league.
Hart is expected to earn $20.9 million this season and has a team option for next year. With Mitchell Robinson's departure to the Celtics, Hart will play a significant role in the Knicks' defense, particularly in securing rebounds. He has been averaging over eight rebounds per game in his three-plus years with the team, making him a critical asset for the franchise.
