Knicks wing Josh Hart underwent a procedure on his right ring finger due to an injury suffered during the playoffs, the team announced Wednesday.
Hart said he dislocated the finger during New York's Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley noted.
Luckily, the 30-year-old isn't expected to miss much time and will resume basketball activities later this summer, the Knicks said.
Hart averaged 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.5 steals over a career-high and league-leading 37.6 minutes per game across 77 games (all starts) last year for the Knicks.
He then averaged 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.1 steals over 18 playoff games (14 starts), helping New York reach the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years.
With a majority of the team returning for the 2025-26 NBA season, Hart is expected to continue his role as the glue guy for New York under new head coach Mike Brown.
