INDIANAPOLIS — Amid a struggling start for the Knicks wings, Josh Hart revealed he’s dealt with injuries since pre-training camp and agreed Friday that the team’s slow pace has negatively impacted himself, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby.

All three entered Friday’s game against the Pacers shooting under 40 percent, while the Knicks were dead last in the league in pace at 95 possessions per game. 

“There’s less chances at the rim,” Hart said. “I think it also affects Mikal and OG. … [Coach Mike Brown] says Mikal is the best runner in the league. So if you have the best runner in the league and you’re not running, you’re wasting one of his talents. If we play faster, we’ll be able to do that. Sometimes OG has smaller guards defending him, so if we run he can be able to seal at the rim, be able to get easy points at the rim, which also can help our rim finishing.”

Hart said the solution is to simply push the ball up quicker in possessions, even if that means Jalen Brunson isn’t bringing up the ball. The Knicks were third in the NBA in frequency of field goals in the final four seconds of the shot clock, a stat indicative of a slowly evolving offense. They were also shooting an NBA-worst 57.2 percent in the paint, which is a symptom of few breakaways. 

The Knicks were 23rd in the league in fastbreak points. 

“We gotta get the ball out and sometimes that might have to be [Brunson] just running and not going to the ball after a make or a defensive rebound,” Hart said. “Just trying to get a better and quicker flow so it’s not so stagnant in the halfcourt.”

The Knicks made up for some of their poor offense with offensive rebounding and second-chance points. Karl-Anthony Towns overall had a monster opening 10 games for New York. 

But Hart, Anunoby and especially Bridges weren’t producing to their standard. Hart has been hindered by physical ailments. He planted his foot wrong in training camp and suffered an ankle injury, which caused him to miss consecutive games last week. 

On Friday, Hart said he was sidelined for three weeks in September because “I tweaked my calf.” It set back his conditioning and led to limitations in training camp, which Hart explained as a contributor to the clunky start. 

“This year was a little different. Obviously, a shorter break in terms of the summer [because of the long playoff run] but also I wasn’t physically able to really push my body towards the end of the summer to be prepared for the season,” Hart said. “I had [the calf] injury in September, which kept me out for about three weeks, so I wasn’t able to get in some of that conditioning and some of those legs under me, which is normally the time to do it. 

“And then, the ankle injury in training camp. So, the ramp up was a little bit slower than I kinda wanted it to be or kinda liked it to be, so I think that’s the biggest thing is just getting my legs under me.”

Hart entered Friday shooting just 31.7 percent on 3-pointers — which is well below his average of 41.3 percent from last season. 

“The shots I’m shooting, I like them. I think that was kinda evident with Cleveland. One of the things: All three of my 3s was just hella short. It was just, those legs, get those legs under me,” Hart said. “Also, on top of that, missing a week in the season, it’s cumulative of six, seven weeks of just not much activity basketball-wise. So, I think that’s just what it is. So, as the season progresses and I’m out there running more, doing all those kinds of things, the performance will follow.”
