Both are out for the season opener at Cleveland—Hart with lumbar spasms after a preseason slip; Robinson in ankle injury management after last year’s surgery. Mike Brown must reshuffle starters and bench balance without two core rebound/defence pieces. Expect bigger wings and small-ball contingencies to preserve glass and screen-setting; drop coverage minutes shift to backups with switching mixed in. Offensively, New York must replace Hart’s connective passing and Robinson’s vertical spacing with quicker second-unit tempo.

Fresh off an Eastern Conference Finals run, the Knicks are considered serious contenders in a weakened East. ESPN’s Bobby Marks predicts they’ll likely make a trade this month to finalize their roster, potentially moving a recent draft pick to keep key veterans.
