Josh Hart to miss 12 weeks after undergoing knee procedure
An incredibly disappointing season for the Los Angeles Lakers has officially come to an end for Josh Hart.
On Thursday, the Lakers announced that Hart underwent a procedure on his knee and will be sidelined for about three months.

That gives Hart plenty of time to prepare for the 2019-20 season, but he obviously won’t play in any of the Lakers’ remaining seven games.
Hart has been dealing with tendonitis in his knee all season and missed some time prior to the All-Star break. The former first-round pick averaged 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 67 games.
