Josh Hart plans to play the entire 2025-26 season without fixing his right finger injury and will likely need to play with a splint.
“I’m just trying to get used to it, and then get through the season with it,” Hart said Tuesday at New York’s season-opening media day at its Westchester practice facility.
“I don’t want to go into too much detail, but I obviously got a procedure on it and then kind of reaggravated it somewhat recently. So probably just rock out with a splint this season and try to fix it again next summer.”
Hart shot 33.3 percent on three-pointers last season and has a career mark of 34.2 percent.
“It’s something that a lot of people have,” Hart said. “I don’t think about it too much. I just try to go out there and play how I play, and if I can’t play how I play and be aggressive and kind of have that toughness mentality I normally play with, then I have to figure out a different path.
