Less than two weeks after under going surgery to repair the fracture of the fourth metacarpal on his left hand, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Josh Hart was going through shooting drills at the team’s practice facility.
It did not include contact, and Hart was wearing a protective wrap on his left hand. “He’s been getting some shots up, but this is the most he’s done as far as moving and doing drill-work,” Lakers head coach Luke Walton said.
Although the activity is a step in the right direction for Hart, who was projected to miss four to six weeks while recovering, it’s not a sign he’s on the cusp of returning.
