Luke Walton says Josh Hart is questionable for Wednesday, Lakers will be patient because ‘he’s very important to what we do’

After getting pulled from practice because of a minor hamstring injury on Monday, Josh Hart was held out again Tuesday and is officially listed as questionable to play on Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors.

Hart was ready to practice on Tuesday, but head coach Luke Walton didn’t want to risk him getting hurt because he sees Hart as one of the team’s most valuable players.

“He’s good,” Walton said. “He wanted to practice today but (his hamstring) was tight still, so I told him to sit out and watch, make sure that he stays healthy because he’s very important to what we do so we want to start the season as healthy as we can be, so it’s more just being safe.
