Josh Hart has a sprained left ankle. He participated in parts of practice. His status for Game 2 will be based on how he feels tomorrow morning, Tom Thibodeau says.

I’m not happy to hear this but good thing the squad deep.
I would be pretty surprised if he didn’t play, given that he stayed in the game after it happened. He also participated in some practice today.
Also Josh Hart is a tough SOB and in his first ever playoff series. It’ll take a lot to keep him out.
He’ll play

Evan Fournier redemption arc
Bruh noooo. Fucking injuries
I was worried about this. Even though he finished the game, I knew that these ankle things don’t start getting bad until after the fact. I hope he recovers quickly. He’s a key part of the rotation
Look this sucks, but it could be much worse. This guy is a dog, I am sure he may want to play through it, but if he is not 100% he should take a break.
I wish Josh a speedy recovery!
Being up 1-0 while stealing one on the road gives flexibility to rest him up for the rest of the series. Not saying to give away a game but if there was a situation to be cautious, this is it. Much better to have him miss a game than to push through and risk the rest of the playoffs.
Don’t you do this to me, Begley. Don’t you fucking do this.
Next Garçon Up.
McBride to shut down whatever hopes garland has to help Mitchell.
Time for IQ to drop 30
We are just playing mind games with Cleveland. He’s 100% playing
Anything fucking else? Jalen Brunson with two separate injuries to close out the season, Julius with a sprain, Josh Hart with a sprain. As a Yankee fan I’m conditioned to injuries but this is fuckin bullshit
NOOOOOOO! HE CAN HAVE MY ANKLE! TAKE BOTH JOSH, TAKE BOTH!

Dudes have to step up. If we can win with Brunson on the bench most of the first half, we can win without Hart.
Why so many sprained ankles, who’s doing the tape jobs
Let Josh rest while we take a Deuce.
Sounds like he’d only be out for one game if at all. We already took one in Cleveland and that’s what I was realistically hoping for. We’ll be fine.
Begley is annoying. We all know he is going to play. Media just wants clicks and wants fans to worry or have something to talk about. They did the same thing for a week about julius randle yet we all knew he was going to be fine and play. Same with josh hart he is fine. These guys are dogs an ankle sprain wont effect that.
Well…… if he needs rest to heal, you know he damn well needs to.
That said, him being hurt better inspire IQ, Grimes or RJ game 2. We all know none of them had a stellar game 1…..so at least two of them better go balls out tomorrow night.
He’s playing.
Fuck me in the ass
yeah let me go ahead and just end my shit
fuck
Mcbride, you’re up
This is bad. If he does, need both IQ and RJ to pick it up immensely
At least game 3 is 1/2 a week away
