Josh Hart plans to keep his injured right ring finger wrapped while he continues his NBA career, saying another operation would prevent him from playing.
The New York Knicks guard addressed the issue in a post on X after reporter Steve Popper shared a photo of him practicing with the finger taped. Hart said a joint replacement was the only remaining surgical option and that he believed it would end his career.
His comments describe his own understanding of the available options as he prepares for another season with New York.
Hart injured the finger during the 2025 playoffs and underwent a procedure that July. He aggravated it again before the next training camp and went on to play with a splint.
Last season, he averaged 12 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists while shooting 41.3 percent from three-point range for the Knicks.
