Josh Hart reveals $15,650 item he covets as Knicks inch closer to $500,000 NBA-In Season Tournament prize money with quarterfinal berth

Josh Hart is already eyeing something to buy if the New York Knicks win the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament. The Knicks qualified for the knockouts of the competition as the Eastern Conference Wild Card. They beat the Charlotte Hornets 115-91, which helped them clinch the final spot via points differential.

Hart tweeted an image of a Rolex watch with an estimated price of $15,650. It's the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, which is waterproof and made in Oystersteel and white gold.

Hart is earning $12.96 million this season. He also signed a four-year, $80,915,280 contract extension with the Knicks in the offseason.

However, if he doesn't want to use that money, he can always use the prize money from winning the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament.

The New York Knicks easily took care of the Charlotte Hornets 115-91 on Tuesday night at home. Julius Randle led the way with 25 points, 20 rebounds and five assists, while Josh Hart added 17 points off the bench.

Even though the Knicks failed to finish atop East Group B due to the Milwaukee Bucks, they qualified for the knockouts of the NBA In-Season Tournament due to points differential. They had a better points differential than the Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic and Brooklyn Nets.

The Knicks face the Bucks in the quarter-finals. If they get past Giannis Antetokounm and Co., the Knicks will face the winner of the Indiana Pacers-Boston Celtics game.
