The Los Angeles Lakers announced Josh Hart has a strained ankle tendon and is considered questionable Friday night against the Utah Jazz. The team will wait to see how he fares in pregame work before making a final ruling on Hart’s status.
Hart suffered what the Lakers called a sprained left ankle against the Cleveland Cavaliers, though quickly returned to the court after being tended to. Although Hart played through the injury, he was limited to just 4 points and 4 rebounds but did have 3 blocks in 21 minutes.
Each of the blocked shots came in the first quarter and set a career high for the 23-year-old.
