Josh Hart to play through finger injury to avoid career-ending surgery
New York Knicks guard Josh Hart has revealed that he will continue to play with a finger injury rather than undergo surgery. Hart stated on social media that the only available medical procedure to fix the injury is a joint replacement, which would effectively end his professional basketball career.
To avoid surgery, Hart intends to keep the finger wrapped and continue playing until his retirement. He addressed the situation directly to stop speculation regarding his taped finger during practice.
