“I saw Josh Hart. The one we know and love. Message from Jalen Brunson, after the win against the Bullssums up the situation around his teammate well. Since the beginning of the season, after four matches and 89 minutes, the Knicks player has scored only 11 points in total…
In New York’s success and in just 26 minutes, Josh Hart scored 14 points, with 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Except, even though he started his season, he’s still limited by an injury to his right index finger.
“I have to deal with physical and mental obstacles”, confirmed former Portland player. “In this match I wanted to play energetically, with joy, not frustrated or angry. I wanted to become myself again.”
Mike Brown didn’t know…
The sixth man injured his finger during the playoffs and had surgery during the offseason. So why the new pain? Because he got injured again in training, before the camp. And he made a decision not to go through the operation box again.
“My nerves are not completely back to normal. I have tingling and numbness in my hand”describes Josh Hart. “Hopefully at some point it will go away, sooner rather than later.”
That explains, in addition to the necessary adaptation now that he is no longer a starter but a substitute, his very complicated start to the season. Even if his own coach wasn’t aware of the sensations of his player in his hand…
“This is new to me,” confirmed Mike Brown. “Casey Smith, our head doctor, is dealing with it as best he can, and so is Josh. He had 14 points and 9 rebounds in this game, so imagine he was perfectly healthy. . . . He’s good. He’s been out a little bit and needs to make up for lost time.”
