The Knicks will be shorthanded a bit longer.
The team announced following Friday’s disappointing loss to the Atlanta Hawks that Josh Hart has begun doing some light court work, and he will be reevaluated in one week.

Hart, of course, has missed the last four games due to a sprained ankle suffered during the fourth quarter of the Christmas Day victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He did not travel with the team during their recent road trip and was still being evaluated.
Though Hart will be out a bit longer, it’s a good sign that he’s able to get back on the court in some capacity.
The veteran small forward was enjoying his best stretch of the season prior to the injury, averaging 14.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.8 assists over his last 13 games.
New York has received nice boosts in his absence, but they could certainly use his high-energy all-around play.
