Fuck me
The most common cause of abdominal strain is quite literally overuse. Turns out repeatedly playing a dude 48 minutes in high intensity playoffs games isn’t a good idea.
would not be surprised at all to see him play lol
give him all the titty milk he wants
Even if he plays he’s not gonna be the same the rest of the playoffs. This sucks so much.
I am absolutely terrified at the thought of Jericho Sims minutes, please be ok Josh

This is a minor thing, but is F/G common? I’d say G/F is the convention
“No way to prevent this” says only coach who this consistently happens to
Get ready to inject toradol buddy
Demon hart we don’t deserve u but achuiwa gotta play more
You can’t say the Knicks haven’t given everything to this run.
48 minutes it is
just let pacers win man. nobody wants to watch the corpse of New York get trampled by the Celtics.
yeah it was obvious, he can try and play but he’s only going to make it worse when his biggest value to the team is rebounding and effort
All Thibs teams get injured in the playoffs because the human body can’t take the physical toll of 48 minutes of hyperintensive cardio
The playoffs are crazy sometimes
Embiid gets trolled to fuck for never making a conference finals, meanwhile the Pacers are possibly going to squeeze through by barely beating teams missing a fuckload their best players lmao
Allen would never…
True player of the New York CliKnicks
Dude is tough as hell. That being said, if he does suit up, we gotta attack him with Siakam and Myles every single time.
Lovely.
Hart of the city.
I have nothing else to add except tears.
Dawg partially intact
shit…
this is simultaneously both our best season and most cursed season in years
Absolutely insane this team has made it this far while being absolutely decimated by injuries. Pretty fucking amazing.
It’s going to be very weird if the Pacers end up in the Eastern finals.
You go Thibs
At this rate even if they win game 7 and go to the ECF, Thibs might have to suit up to face the Celtics.
If he plays and has a meaningful impact on the game, he will become immortalized in New York.
2x tylenol
2x shots of espresso
1 cup of breastmilk
0.5 viagra
We good here
Ab strains can hurt like a bastard. Hope he can figure out some kind of treatment but I know none of us here would want to play through it.
I’m in Spain without the S
he’s an athlete, so he will probably play but thats rough to have to play on sunday, probably 40+ minutes and their prize for winnings is a rested boston. he should just not play.
The road to the finals for the Celtics gets even easier. Either they are plying a completely decimated Knicks team or a pacers team with 0 consistency and historically bad defense
I look at Sunday as a win-win for us. Win and get the bragging rights of an ECF berth our hospital squad had no business claiming. Lose and we let the heroes rest and prevent potential aggravation to their injuries.
Didn’t gp2 have an abdominal injury? He was out for months, a long time.
Someone get this man 1L of pure Cambodian breast milk and 500 mg Mike and Ike’s STAT
The amount of injuries this team either has currently or dealt with is insane. To be one game away from the ECF is a miracle
I’d kind of prefer him to not play if he is in the same state as he was last game, he was a negative and looked in serious pain the whole game. Siakam was taking him apart in the post, even though he was doing that pre-injury but you could really tell they were lookin to exploit Hart. Hart is a dog though so the only thing that will stop him from playing is the coaching staff.
He was in a lot of pain yesterday, it was killing him and he’s a tough dude.
Everything works through the abdominals – breathing deeply can be painful, jumping; running, shooting, bracing yourself, getting up – all of it.
Any doctors or people who have had this know how long the recovery “should” be?
Don’t do it Josh. It’ll be really difficult to win without him but I don’t think it’s a good idea. He won’t be able to play like his normal self so what’s the point? I’d love to win of course but if we lose, we lose.
The fact that this depleted roster has even made it this far is impressive.
Hart was obviously in a lot of pain last night. Why risk aggravating it?
Obligatory fuck the Knicks because it’s part of tradition.
Josh Hart is insane for his iron man effort. It’s not like he’s half assing it out on the court either.
He’s said some hateful things about Indiana but regardless, the dude has pushed harder than any other player in the playoffs.
Give him his due. Hope he isn’t hurt too bad because effort like that needs to be rewarded.
Portland prepared him for this
Just rub some breast milk on it
We really going to play Jericho Sims and Shake Milton on a game 7 huh
Oh man, the Trail Blazer curse is stroonnnngggg
i think i need glasses the new york logo on the jersey is blurry
I’m sure Thibs would at least ease up on his minutes. Probably give him something light, maybe 45-47 minutes
“he’s averaging so many minutes, what a trooper!”
“More minutes don’t give more chance of injuries!”
“Wow I can’t believe this guy is injured”
