The New York Knicks defeated the Orlando Magic 106-100 on Sunday. Late in the game, forward Josh Hart had his twin sons on the bench. The NBA player had a special moment with Hendrix Aaron and Haze Dana. The young Harts also got to spend time with their father’s teammates, including Mikal Bridges. During their time on the bench, Bridges had a bit of fun with one of his friend’s sons.
Hart played big for New York on their way to their 16th win of the 2025-26 NBA season. The former Villanova player scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds while shooting 53.8%. Bridges, on the other hand, contributed 12 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
On the bench, the teammates were sitting next to each other. One of Hart’s sons made intense eye contact with Bridges, and the moment was captured.
Bridges posted the clip on his Instagram stories and playfully joked with his Knicks teammate.
“If he mug me like that again its up,” Bridges posted.

At one moment, Hart had to check out of the game and left his kids on the bench. He handed one of his kids to the starting center, Mitchell Robinson. The seven-foot shot blocker also had fun with his teammate’s sons on social media.
“guess I’m teach the twins country 🤠,” Robinson posted.

Following their game against the Magic, New York will begin a two-game road trip on Tuesday. The team is currently the second-best in the Eastern Conference and is looking to contend for the championship.
Jake Fischer reports that there is a general belief that Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to join the Knicks
There have been reports that Giannis Antetokounmpo and his representatives have started conversations regarding the star’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the Bucks’ 10-15 record, many believe that Antetokounmpo could soon force his way out of Milwaukee. The lack of success has been the biggest factor, many believe, in why trade conversations have begun.
NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on Sunday that the Knicks are a strong candidate for Antetokounmpo’s potential trade destination.
“There’s strong belief leaguewide Giannis desires 1 destination above all the rest if he actually fully asks out someday: New York…I’ve even heard that the rowdy fanbase outside MSG after playoff Ws…resonate, given his fondness for…basketball & soccer clubs in Europe,” Fischer wrote.
Antetokounmpo is one of the best talents in the league and wants to maximize his potential. With the Bucks, the Greek Freak has dealt with three straight first-round exits.
