Versatile Lakers guard Josh Hart has been dealing with ongoing knee problems that the team officially termed “knee tendinitis.” According to both Hart and Lakers head coach Luke Walton, this ongoing, nagging problem may be the root cause for Hart’s downtrend in play, namely his 3-point shooting, which cratered in the month of January at 22.7%.
However, with the nine-day All-Star break now mercifully upon us, that extended layoff and downtime might be just what the doctor ordered for Hart and that troublesome knee tendon.
