Josh Hart is itching to play an actual game of basketball.
In the 2 1/2 months since the regular season ended, Hart has worked extensively on his game with assistant coach Miles Simon. Yet because those workouts have mostly been individual ones, Hart can’t wait to lead the Lakers’ summer league team.
“It’s time to be competitive and I want to be out there competing,” Hart said.
But Hart — who only played two games at last year’s summer league due to injury — is likely to have his playing time limited.
According to Simon (serving as summer head coach this year), the plan is for Hart to play one game at the California Classic in Sacramento and one more at the Las Vegas Summer League.
