Just like in his rookie season, injury has created an opportunity for Josh Hart to start and he’s making the most of it. Brandon Ingram remaining sidelined a sprained left ankle pressed Hart into the lineup in each of the past two games.
He struggled Friday night against the Spurs, scoring just 7 points on 3-for-8 shooting. Hart missed all five of his attempts behind the arc. Saturday was a much different story, however, as he had 16 points and was one of six Lakers to score in double-figures.
Hart knocked down 50 percent of his shot attempts, which included connecting on 4-of-7 from deep.
