NEW YORK — Josh Hart’s discomfort extends beyond just his finger.

The New York Knicks wing, who has played this season with a splint on his right ring finger, has a nerve injury in his hand, Hart told The Athletic before Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.

Hart is expected to play in Sunday night’s game.
