Josh Hart<\/a> of the Knicks revealed today that he is suffering from nerve damage throughout his shooting hand, write Fred Katz and James L Edwards III for The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hart had previously discussed<\/a> the injury in terms of being a finger injury that would likely require surgery after the 2025\/26 season, but now admits that it\u2019s a more general ailment than previously thought. \"\"<\/p>\n

Katz and Edwards note that not only is the injury impacting the fourth finger of his shooting hand, but it\u2019s also causing him to\u00a0lose feeling in his middle and pinky fingers throughout the day, whether on the court or off.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll probably be a process until I get full feeling back,\u201d Hart said. \u201cThe hand will be what it is. I\u2019m working (on shooting) all the time. That\u2019ll come along. I\u2019m not getting surgery.\u201d<\/p>\n

After missing much of the preseason and entering this year with a different role than the previous two seasons, Hart has gotten off to a slow start, averaging 2.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 22.3 minutes on .211\/.100\/.500 shooting splits over his first four games heading into Sunday\u2019s contest against the Bulls.<\/p>\n

With his minutes down dramatically from the 35.5 he averaged over the last two seasons with the Knicks, Hart is still seeking some stability and structure in his position with the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m not going to start, I\u2019m totally cool with it,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be, like, the next starter up because then everything is varying by game. I want more of a consistent role so that I can affect that role.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Hart of the Knicks revealed today that he is suffering from nerve damage throughout his shooting hand,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,87780,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-258920","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-josh-hart","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
