After undergoing a successful surgery to repair the fourth metacarpal of his left hand on Friday, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Josh Hart could miss the remainder of the season.
According to Spectrum SportNet Lakers Insider Mike Bresnahan, Hart is expected to need 4-6 weeks to recover from the surgery. As Bresnahan mentions in his tweet breaking the news, there is less than six weeks left in the season.
Prior to the actual procedure, Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times reported that there is “zero rush” from head coach Luke Walton to get Hart back on the floor.
