Josh Hart and the New York Knicks have reached an agreement to extend the midnight ET deadline for Hart's $12.9 million player option until Thursday. The decision reflects the Knicks' priority to retain Hart, who was a significant addition to the team during the trade deadline.
Hart now has additional time to weigh his options and make a decision regarding his player option. He can choose to exercise the option and negotiate an extension based on the existing contract, or decline the option, becoming an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign a new deal either with the Knicks or another team.
The extension of the deadline underscores the Knicks' strong interest in keeping Hart in their roster. Since joining the team, he has made a notable impact with his contributions on both ends of the court. The Knicks value his presence and see him as an important piece moving forward.
As Thursday approaches, the basketball world awaits Hart's decision. Will he opt-in and continue his journey with the Knicks, or will he explore the possibilities of free agency to secure a new deal, either with the Knicks or another team?
Stay tuned for further updates as Josh Hart's player option deadline approaches.
