The New York Knicks have struggled, and the performances of Josh Hart, Guerschon Yabusele, Jordan Clarkson, and Ariel Hukporti are a major reason why. With New York desperately missing Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson, is it time to panic about the bench?

Gavin Schall and XJ break down the cascading health crisis affecting the entire Knicks' rotation, with Deuce McBride's absence, Josh Hart's debilitating finger injury, and Mitchell Robinson's continued unavailability creating a domino effect through the lineup. The hosts argue McBride is the team's fifth-most important player, examine why Hart's refusal to get surgery is hurting the team's title chances, and analyze how Karl-Anthony Towns is being forced into a suboptimal role. The discussion covers potential solutions, including roster adjustments with Trey Jemison, the confidence spiral affecting Hart's shooting, and why the big man rotation has become the primary concern for New York's playoff hopes.

Discover why these health issues could derail the Knicks' season and what moves might save their championship window.
