Why Josh Hart brought a dog to practice with Knicks playoffs on hold: ‘Whatever makes good vibes’

Step aside, Jalen Brunson.

Josh Hart may have a new best friend.

Hart brought a friend’s dog to practice Wednesday, and Bucky the Bernedoodle came into the interview room with him afterward.

“We’re a dog-friendly establishment. It’s good vibes around here,” Hart said. “Whatever makes good vibes, we’re good.”

The Knicks have been off since completing a series sweep of the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. They are still awaiting their next opponent, either the Cavaliers or the Pistons. The two teams were tied 2-2 in their best-of-seven series entering Wednesday.

The earliest the next round could begin is Sunday.

The Knicks seem pretty relaxed. They are even bringing dogs with them to work.

“Every day, we’re focused on ourselves,” Hart said. “Obviously, we don’t know who we’re going to play. If we continue to just focus on ourselves and take care of the things that we can take care of, we’ll be in a good position. So that’s all today was — the next couple of days — until we figure out who we’re going to play.”
