Josh Hart News: Will play Monday

Hart (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Mavericks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

The Knicks kept Hart out of Saturday's loss to the Suns due to right ankle soreness, but the team is clearing him to play Monday. Mohamed Diawara could be forced out of the rotation entirely with this news. Hart has averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.7 minutes over his last seven contests.
