New York Knicks guard Josh Hart became the talk of social media on Sunday, December 7, after a hilarious moment during the Knicks’ game against the Orlando Magic. During Kids Day at Madison Square Garden, Hart’s twin sons, Haze and Hendrix, were sitting on the bench with their dad — but things quickly got chaotic when Hart was called back into the game.
Josh Hart Hands Off Son Haze to Teammate Mitchell Robinson
In a moment that had fans both laughing and gasping, Hart quickly transferred his 2-year-old son, Haze, sitting on his lap, to a surprised teammate, Mitchell Robinson, so he could re-enter the game.
A clip of the moment went viral on X (formerly Twitter), with fans joking:
“Mitch is like ‘I didn’t sign up to babysit wtf’ 😂 😂💀”
Other viewers chimed in with humor, saying things like:
“Count that as an assist 🤣”
The playful interaction showed Hart juggling the demands of professional basketball and fatherhood — all in the middle of an NBA game.
Kids Day at Madison Square Garden
Earlier in the game, both of Hart’s sons sat on his lap while he watched the action unfold. Commentators noted the unique sight, joking:
“On Kids Day, I guess you’re allowed to sit on the bench,”
while cameras captured the toddlers enjoying the excitement courtside.
After the game, Hart and Haze participated in a post-game media availability, with Haze seemingly fascinated by fellow Knicks guard Jalen Brunson.

This isn’t the first time Hart and his twin boys have grabbed attention. In September, the family appeared on the runway during New York Fashion Week, walking in Macy’s x Rookie Kids “Runway on Broadway” show.

Haze and Hendrix even stopped mid-walk during the show, prompting Hart to jump in and help them complete the runway like true pros, showing that he is just as dedicated off the court as he is on it.
Knicks’ Win Over the Magic
The Knicks won their matchup against the Orlando Magic 106-100, improving their season record to 16-7. They are set to face the Toronto Raptors next on Tuesday, December 9. Despite the chaos on the bench, Hart contributed to the team’s performance while also being a devoted dad.
