Hartenstein Makes SHOCKING Statement About Achilles Injury… | Knicks News

Nick’s big man Isaiah hartenstein recently spoke to the media about his Achilles injury and in that interview he actually revealed that he returned from injury sooner than he should have we’re going to break down exactly what that report said and we’re also going to take

A look at a key stat that Jaylen Brunson is a league leader in and in my opinion it’s something that if it doesn’t get controlled right away could hurt the New York Knicks and their future playoff run all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the

Channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started hartenstein admits that he still needs recovery time with his sore achilles when I heard about this report

I was thinking back to the fact when Tom thibo was resting him and not playing him and I remember hartenstein being a little frustrated about him not hitting his minute Mark and now we may understand why it’s because that sore achilles should have kept them out for a

Few more weeks but because he wanted to be available for the New York Knicks and have an impact he returned early let’s take a look at this report from SNY Insider Ian Bagley according to Bagley he States Isaiah hartenstein said he came back early from Achilles injury according to hartenstein I probably

Could have sat out a couple of more weeks both to help the New York Knicks win and because he’s confident that the ramp up plan that he has with the Knicks will have him ready to play 30 plus minutes in the playoffs without an issue shout out to Ian Bagley always dropping

The knowledge and information that we need each and every day really appreciate that and as you clearly saw there hartenstein is not fully healthy he still has issues with that Achilles and honestly he should still be resting so what does that tell me in my opinion

Rest him don’t bring him back and make sure without a doubt that the next time you play him he’s fully healthy but here’s the thing the way he’s looking right now with the limited minutes he’s playing the doctors are clearing him because he’s not putting undue stress on

That Achilles and the Knicks are monitoring his minutes enough where it’s not posing him an issue because he may want to play more minutes than his Achilles will allow him to but Tom thibo and the coaching staff is looking out for him his well-being his longevity and

What he means for this Knicks team long term especially when it comes to the playoffs so I can understand that and I can respect that but here’s the thing for tomorrow’s injury report against the Cleveland Cavaliers that game Jaylen Brunson he’s not on the injury report thank God for that but also Isaiah

Hartenstein he’s also not listed on that injury report the only players for the New York Knicks listed on that report as you might expect is Randall OG and Mitchell Robinson but nobody else is listed and I’m a little concerned about hearing this regarding hartenstein and

The fact that he should have sat out a couple more weeks with that Achilles injury even though they’re monitoring Haren Stein’s minutes it doesn’t really matter to me because anything could go wrong even in the slight minutes that he does play for the Knicks if he’s not

Fully healthy he should wait before he’s fully healthy before he comes on the court because if anything goes wrong if hartenstein goes down this Nick’s team is going to get worse because of it we cannot play Russian roulette with our players anymore we have to make sure the

Players that need rest get rest and the players that are available play as many minutes as possible but hopefully not enough that we’re burning them out each and every night I’m getting worried about Josh Hart playing so many minutes getting worried about Jaylen Brunson playing so many minutes and speaking

About Jaylen Brunson our Allstar point guard we have to talk about something I said it at the top of the show he is leading the league in terms of one particular key stat and for me guys it’s so worrisome that when I saw it it honestly made me stop everything I was

Doing and just think to myself what if this trend continues let’s share what I’m talking about right now as you can see here shout out to New York basketball on the app X for giving us the following information Jaylen Brunson has the NBA’s second highest usage rate

34.7% since Julius Randall and OG anobi went down brunson’s usage is higher than Luca SGA Giannis and Steph Curry that’s how much usage Brunson is getting right now we are in March right now we are headed into a very difficult month and the reason I’m saying it’s difficult is because we’re not healthy

If we were healthy the schedule that we have it would be cake we would be such a good team right now winning so many games games but we can’t think about that right now because we don’t have that roster each and every game we have

To go into that game one at a time thinking about how to win that game game planning for who we have on the roster that night for that game that’s how we win that’s the only way we win and stay afloat there is no other opportunity

There is no angle there is no other way for the New York Knicks to do it they have to do it this way the jayen Brunson stat honestly really scares me he is leading the league in terms of usage rate he is playing a lot of minutes

Under Tom thibo so is Josh har so is Dante D vinchenzo so is precious atua so are so many of these key players for the Knicks that we’re likely going to need in the long playoff stretch that I hope this Nicks team has and if we’re going

To do that we’re going to need to have fresh bodies we need to get healthy we need to get deeper again and we need to utilize our depth once we get healthy so we can rest some of these players and utilize them better come the postseason

Tom thid needs to realize that we need to understand that you cannot abuse these Starters play them 40 plus minutes a night even though I understand you may want to win each and every game a 10-point lead a 12-point lead is not safe anymore like it used to be 15 years

Ago now you have to keep your stars on the court because you never know what could happen depending on the team you’re playing against and if they get hot from three with how many minutes left on the board we have to realize that I think Tom thibo does a good job

Of that however he sometimes still plays these starters so many minutes to a point where I question why he’s doing it when we’re up about 15 points with three or four minutes left to go I understand that’s still a little bit of chunk of time but I would rather the players rest

And if that situation happens bring them back in but the often chance that that happens is likely low so I would rather do it at that point in time give our guys more opportunities to rest because we need that we are supposed to be a dangerous lethal playoff team we’ll

Never be able to get there not even come close if we can’t get a healthy roster there so I hope Tom thibo understands that realizes that sees the injuries that we have and make sure he continues to monitor these minutes and make sure our players are healthy going into the

Postseason Jaylen Brunson I’m looking at you I’m worried about you hartenstein I’m absolutely worried about you we just heard from your mouth that you should have rested a couple of more weeks and you should not be playing the reason you’re playing and bless your heart is

Because you want to help this Nicks team you want to have an impact you don’t want to let anybody down you want to help this Knicks team float so we can continue to win games have good seating for the playoffs and make sure we have an impact a good impact when we get

There I can appreciate that but what happens if you play into an injury again and then you miss more time and you’re not there for us in the playoffs when we need you the most I understand it’s going to be hard without you I’m not saying to take off the rest of the

Season or anything like that but what I am saying is take off as many games as necessary to get the rest that you need we need you at full health full capacity if we have half a iHeart that’s not enough that’s not good enough we need full Isaiah hartenstein if we get that

We might be able to go up toe to- Toe with anybody especially when Mitch comes back but we need our centers fully healthy not one fully healthy and one kind of healthy that doesn’t work and we have the opportunity right now to address it we just have to get healthier

To do it let’s keep floating guys I know it’s rough I know it’s been tough I’m watching the games just like you guys are it’s hurting me a lot I don’t like seeing this niick team lose especially when we have the Talent necessary to not only win but dominate our time is coming

Though let them laugh right now they can do that I remember in January the only people that were laughing were New York knck fans and I’m telling you once we get healthy again we’re going to return to that Trend but what about you guys what do you think about this report here

That Isaiah hartenstein probably should have sat out a couple of more weeks due to that Achilles injury and that he returned early and what about the Jaylen Brunson stat that we shared earlier regarding the fact that he leads the league as one of the leaders in usage

Rate are you concerned about that let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button
