Knicks’ Josh Hart has savage retort to Jalen Brunson’s trolling over Eagles beating Commanders

With his Eagles in control and cruising toward an appearance in Super Bowl 2025, Jalen Brunson didn’t hesitate to toss a jab toward Knicks teammate Josh Hart — who was in attendance at Lincoln Financial Field supporting the Commanders in Philadelphia’s NFC Championship win.

“Josh left before the 4qtr started,” Brunson, an Eagles fan, wrote in a post on X during the game, while tagging Hart.

“Have to get home so I can sleep,” Hart chimed back while quoting Brunson’s post, before referencing the Knicks’ game against the Grizzlies on Monday. “One of us has to play defense tomorrow.”

The Eagles crushed the Commanders, 55-23, behind Saquon Barkley’s 118 yards and three touchdowns — including a 60-yard score on their first offensive snap — while building an 11-point lead by the end of the third quarter.

After the Knicks’ win against the Kings on Saturday, Brunson and Hart exchanged jokes during their postgame press conference about the NFC Championship game, with Brunson telling reporters, “Tomorrow Josh Hart is going to the game, so Eagles fans, you know what to do. Whenever you see someone not wearing Eagles gear, harass the hell out of them.”

“I don’t want to be harassed,” Hart, who collected a triple-double during the victory, responded to reporters. “We can all go to the game and have a fun time.”
