Josh Hart’s finger injury is worse than Knicks fans knew

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart revealed that an injury to his right ring finger is severe enough that fully repairing it would require a career-ending joint replacement. Speaking to Fred Katz of The Athletic, Hart confirmed he will avoid surgery and instead play through the condition using a splint or wrap.

Empire Sports Media's Alexander Wilson argues the Knicks must actively manage Hart's workload and minutes this season to protect his shooting hand. Hart shot a career-best 41% from three-point range last season, but the long-term impact on his shooting and ball handling remains uncertain.
