As the Los Angeles Lakers have played stretches without Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, LeBron James and Rajon Rondo, due to injuries, Josh Hart has largely continued to push through a balky right knee.
A byproduct of an offseason filled with workouts and playing more Summer League games than the Lakers initially outlined, Hart has been dogged by tendinitis for much of his sophomore campaign. Though, he recently alluded to the injury being more complex.
Although the Lakers are on the verge of being eliminated from possibly reaching the playoffs and have shut down Ball and Ingram while more aggressively monitoring James’ minutes, Hart has continued to play whenever available.
