Overview
- The Athletic reports the injury affects the ring finger most and causes intermittent numbness in the middle and pinky fingers, including during daily activities.
- Hart said, “I’m not getting surgery,” and he is working on adjustments with new shooting coach Peter Patton.
- Through four games, he is averaging 2.8 points on .211 shooting with .100 from three, and his minutes have dropped to about 22 per game after averaging 35.5 the past two seasons.
- He sustained the hand injury in May, had an offseason procedure, then re-injured it in a preseason scrimmage and also missed time with back spasms.
- Reporting indicates a post‑season procedure is expected and could sideline him for roughly two to three months.
