Rumors had Hart being benched after Game 2. Hart was on the bench at the start of Game 3, but played 34 crucial minutes in the comeback win.

On Sunday night, for the first time in 485 days, Josh Hart came off the bench for the New York Knicks, ceding his spot in the starting lineup to center Mitchell Robinson in a move aimed at providing a shock to the system of a lineup that’s gone stagnant over the past several months.

Tom Thibodeau ran back his reworked Knicks starting lineup for Game 4 against the Pacers Tuesday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. That group was Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson.
