The Milwaukee Bucks and New York Knicks have relatively short injury lists ahead of Tuesday’s meeting, but the status of two key contributors could still affect the matchup. Tyler Herro and Josh Hart are the only players listed on the latest report, with both guards carrying questionable designations.

According to the NBA’s official injury report released Tuesday morning, Herro is questionable for Milwaukee with a right contusion, while Hart is listed with right ankle soreness for New York. Both players’ availability remains uncertain ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Madison Square Garden.

Herro’s status matters greatly to a Bucks team searching for answers after a 1-9 start. He is questionable with a right knee contusion. He suffered the injury during Milwaukee’s loss to the Boston Celtics on November 8. Herro finished with 13 points in 27 minutes. He still leads the Bucks in scoring, averaging 21.4 points through 10 games. Milwaukee would need other players to step up offensively if he cannot play against New York.

Hart is also questionable with right ankle soreness. The issue has already forced him to miss games against the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks rely on his rebounding, defensive energy and versatility. His absence would leave a significant gap in the rotation. Landry Shamet could see more minutes if Hart cannot suit up.

Both players remain questionable, so neither team has ruled them out. Milwaukee hopes Tyler Herro can provide his scoring punch as the Bucks look to end their struggles. New York, meanwhile, will await Josh Hart’s status as it prepares to defend home court against Milwaukee.
