UPDATE: Josh Hart is available.

On Sunday afternoon, the New York Knicks will play the Celtics in Boston.

For the game, they could remain without one of their most important players, as Josh Hart is on the injury report.

The former Villanova star has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
