AutoDraft Pro AI

New York Knicks wing Josh Hart has successfully undergone a procedure on his right ring finger, an injury sustained during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. The 30-year-old guard, who dislocated the finger, is expected to make a full recovery and resume basketball activities later this summer. Last season, Hart averaged a career-high 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals in a league-leading 37.6 minutes across 77 regular-season starts, showcasing career-best shooting percentages (58.6% from the field, 52% from beyond the arc). Despite his strong performance, he is anticipated to continue his crucial 'glue guy' role for the Knicks, likely contributing significantly from the bench as he prepares for the upcoming season.
