Donovan Mitchell posted a hype video of his Instagram to get fans ready for the Cavaliers’ first-round series against the Knicks, and New York’s Josh Hart had a hilariously blunt response to his friend, but current rival.
“F--k you,” Hart’s response said, though uncensored.
Hart eventually deleted the reply to avoid any confusion, as the response was certainly in good fun. Hart recently talked with reporters about his friendship with Mitchell, and his reply was playful trash talk.
But once the two get on the court, Hart will indeed be out to make the series a nightmare for Mitchell, as he may be tasked with guarding Cleveland’s superstar at times during the series, if Quentin Grimes is resting on the bench.
Hart had nothing but nice things to say about Mitchell when asked about their relationship earlier this week, but did acknowledge that they likely won’t be talking much during the series.
