New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson said he took it easy on Josh Hart after his Eagles eliminated the Commanders.

The Philadelphia Eagles soared into the NFC Championship Game with a commanding 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders, sparking lighthearted banter between New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart.

Among the top candidates who weren’t named to the All-Star Game are Cleveland’s Jarrett Allen, Atlanta’s Trae Young, Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, Miami’s Bam Adebayo, Chicago’s Zach LaVine, Sacramento’s De’Aaron Fox, Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Dallas’ Kyrie Irving.

Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns teamed up to roast Knicks teammate Josh Hart following the Commanders' loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Hart understands how All-Star selections work. He knows his chances of being named an All-Star reserve are slim. The Knicks already have two All-Star starters — their first since Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier in 1975 — and the competition for reserve spots is fierce.

Josh Hart is averaging 13.9 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists with the ability to play any position for Knicks.

New York Knicks stars took the high road in dealing with Josh Hart after the Washington Commanders' loss in the NFC Championship Game.
