New York Knicks starting wing RJ Barrett remains out with a lacerated right index finger. But before the injury, Barrett was on a tear.

ESPN anchor Mark Jones mentioned during the Knicks-Atlanta Hawks game broadcast on Dec. 7 that before that game, Barrett’s personal trainer Drew Hanlen came in to tweak his shot.

Hanlen confirmed the report on his Twitter three weeks after.

We made a tweak to his shot Dec 5. In the ten games since then, he’s averaging 25/6/3 while shooting 47/45/73. Needs to keep that efficiency up both at rim & behind 3.
