Hart (knee) had season-ending knee surgery Thursday to address an issue with his right patellar tendon, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart has been bothered by the knee for much of the season, and while he attempted to play through the discomfort, his effectiveness clearly waned. The Villanova product had already missed the last four games, and he'll now face a fairly lengthy recovery process of around 12 weeks. Expect Hart to return to basketball activities sometime in June and be fully ready for the start of the 2019-20 season.

Hart (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Hart's fourth straight absence while he nurses tendinitis in his right knee, and there has been no indication that Hart is close to making his return. However, with the Lakers not providing any updates on his health, he will continue to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis.

Hart (knee) won't play Tuesday against Washington, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart is on track to miss his third straight contest due to tendinitis in his right knee, and the Lakers are unlikely to rush him back considering they've already been eliminated from the playoffs. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Utah.

Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Hart will miss his second straight contest as he tends to tendinitis in his right knee. Now that the Lakers are officially eliminated from the playoffs, there is no need to rush Hart back until he is 100 percent healthy. Look for Reggie Bullock and Lance Stephenson to see increased action as long as Hart remains sidelined.

Hart (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Nets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart popped up on the injury report Thursday with a knee injury that has been bothering him since January. It appears there is a chance that the medical staff will Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site Hart for the remainder of the season to avoid any additional damage, so there's a chance Hart has already seen the court for the last time this season.

Hart (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart continues to be bothered by knee tendinitis, and it's possible he'll sit out Friday's contest. If he ends up missing the game, Reggie Bullock and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should see more time.

Hart had six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 115-101 loss to the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Hart had been listed as questionable due to knee tendinitis but was able to give it a go. Nevertheless, given that the team is simply playing out the string, there's little reason for coach Luke Walton to rely on the hobbled Hart to play heavy minutes. As a result, the sophomore guard can likely be avoided across most formats across the final 11 contests of 2018-19.

Hart (knee) will play Tuesday against the Bucks, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Right knee tendinitis put Hart's status into question, but he's feeling well enough to play Tuesday. Over the past four games, he's averaging 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes.

Hart is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest at Milwaukee due to knee tendinitis, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart missed last week's game against the Pistons due to the same injury, so it appears as though the tendinitis is still affecting the former first-round pick. There is still hope though that Hart will be able to play through his knee tendinitis especially given that LeBron James (groin) will be inactive Tuesday. Hart will probably be a game-time call leading up to matchup against the Bucks.

Hart (knee) will play in Sunday's contest against the Knicks, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart sat out Friday's game due to knee tendinitis and was questionable entering Sunday's tilt. He'll figure to see his usual role off the bench for the Lakers.
