The Los Angeles Lakers are in the home stretch of the season and remain hopeful Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram will manage to return from their respective injuries. Hart suffered a broken hand during a late-February practice and underwent surgery a couple days later.
He was projected to miss four to six weeks while recovering, which left open the possibility the rookie could return for a handful of games at the end of the season. Though, Lakers head coach Luke Walton made it clear the team would not rush the process.
As the Lakers began a four-game road trip this week, Hart went on a television tour of sorts.
