Hart left Monday's practice with a left Achilles strain and will undergo an MRI, Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how severe the rookie's injury is, but the team should have a better idea of a timeline for his recovery following his MRI later on Monday. With plenty of young talent in the Lakers' backcourt, Hart is expected to be buried on the bench this season as a depth option at guard.

Hart poured in nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added four rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes in Friday's 111-104 preseason win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

The 2017 first-round pick closed out the exhibition slate trending in the right direction, as he shot 50.0 percent (6-for-12) from the field over his last two games. While he'd been gone scoreless over nine minutes against the Kings on Oct. 8, Hart had also posted nine points in his preseason debut against the Nuggets on Oct. 4, so he's mostly capitalized on his modest opportunities. He'll have a difficult time carving out minutes to open the regular season, as he's looking up at Tyler Ennis and Jordan Clarkson on the point guard depth chart. He should have plenty of opportunity to continue honing his skills at the G-League level, however, and could see some more meaningful floor time with the Lakers in the latter stages of the campaign.

Hart will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Hart missed the Lakers' first two preseason games with an ankle injury, but he's good to go for Wednesday's exhibition after participating fully in Tuesday's practice. He's been dealing with an ankle injury since July, so the Lakers may choose to ease him back into action.

Hart (ankle) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was cleared for contact last week, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. That said, he likely sat out Monday's game against the Nuggets to work on his conditioning. He should be considered available for Wednesday's game against Denver until word comes otherwise.

Hart (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason contest against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart was cleared for contact late last week, but the rookie is likely still trying to get his conditioning in order and may need a few more days to be given the go ahead for a return. The Lakers next matchup comes in a rematch with the Nuggets on Wednesday, though it's entirely possible Hart isn't ready to play in that matchup either. Look for his status to be updated again over the next few days. Hart will likely find significant minutes hard to come by during his rookie season.

Hart (ankle) has been cleared for contact but will not take the floor during Saturday's preseason opener against the Timberwolves, Mike Bresnahan of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft suffered an ankle sprain during a summer league game against the Celtics in early July and is seemingly still feeling discomfort. That said, he didn't project to be a significant part of the team's rotation and his absence, no matter how long, shouldn't affect the fantasy landscape, except maybe in dynasty formats.

Hart (ankle) won't play in Monday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Trail Blazers, Mark Medina of Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers are slated to take on the Trail Blazers in the Vegas Summer League championship game, but they'll be without the likes of Hart, Lonzo Ball (calf) and P.J. Dozier (ankle). Hart finishes the Las Vegas Summer League playing in two games and averaging 10.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 22.5 minutes. Hart is expected to battle for reserve minutes in the backcourt behind the likes of Lonzo Ball, Jordan Clarkson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the backcourt during the upcoming season.

Hart (ankle) will remain sidelined for Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League matchup with the Mavericks, Mark Medina of Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hart played in just two Summer League contests before suffering an ankle injury and there's no real reason for the Lakers to risk any aggravation by pushing him back into action too soon. Look for Hart to make a full recovery ahead of training camp, which means he's fully expected to be ready for the opener. That said, with guys like Lonzo Ball, Jordan Clarkson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope clogging up the backcourt depth chart, Hart isn't necessarily guaranteed a significant role during his rookie season.

Hart (ankle) will not play during Saturday's summer league game against the Nets, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.
