The New York Knicks had two injury scares during their Tuesday night game against the Washington Wizards. It was a blowout 132-101 win for the Knicks, but plenty of fans were worried about Josh Hart and Mohamed Diawara.
Both players rolled their ankles during the game, and they did not look good. Considering Hart is a crucial cog in the Knicks' system, and Diawara has had a recent emergence, losing them would be a significant blow for the Knicks.
The Knicks can rest easy knowing Hart and Diawara are okay
The Knicks have been one of the most impressive teams in the league. They are tied with the Charlotte Hornets for the longest active winning streak in the league, as they have seven consecutive wins.
Hart and Diawara have been awesome during this stretch, as they are playing energetic basketball. The two players have been significant in this streak, but they might have to sit out for a bit.

They both rolled their ankles against the Wizards, which ultimately did not affect the blowout win. However, it was fair for Knicks fans to be terrified because both players did not return to the game.
Now, Knicks fans can breathe easier knowing that both players did not leave with walking boots on their injured feet. That is a big deal because significant ankle sprains would have required them to wear them.
Since they can walk on their own properly, they might be able to return to the lineup as soon as they can. They will probably rest up for a bit, but they won't be gone for too long, which is immense news for the Knicks.
