Josh Hart argues with coach Thibodeau during game

Josh Hart had a heated exchange with coach Tom Thibodeau during a disappointing game against the Warriors, where he scored no points. Both players downplayed the incident, calling it a moment of frustration. Hart expressed his loyalty to Thibodeau, stating that their relationship remains strong despite the argument. Thibodeau described the exchange as passionate, with assistant coach Rick Brunson stepping in to diffuse the situation. Hart noted his struggles without teammate Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
