Josh Hart was injured and ejected on the same play in the Knicks' exhibition win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
Hart, who is wearing a split on his right ring finger following surgery, came down with a rebound and landed awkwardly trying to avoid a tie-up with 76ers forward Kennedy Chandler and went to the ground in pain in front of the 76ers bench.
After grabbing his third rebound of the game in seven minutes of court time, Hart went to the floor and fired the ball across the court and into the stands, prompting referees to eject him from the game.
"I didn't see him go down," new Knicks coach Mike Brown said. "I saw him down and he looked like he was in considerable pain when he was down. He's day-to-day. We'll see how he feels tomorrow."
The Knicks won the game 99-84. The teams will play again Saturday (11 a.m. ET).
Brown said the Knicks will list Hart's injury as "lower back soreness."
The Knicks reiterated the injury is not considered serious.
