Over the first three years of his NBA career, Josh Hart has notoriously struggled at receiving high-fives from his teammates. From LeBron James to Kyle Kuzma, Hart hasn’t fared well.
Those issues also followed Hart over to the New Orleans Pelicans.
Hart saw his struggles resurface during the preseason after he was left hanging by Zion Williamson. Hart approached Williamson to celebrate a dunk, to which the No. 1 overall pick completely ignored him.
On Thursday, Hart once again failed to connect on a high-five. Williamson drew a foul against Chris Paul and Hart, being the good teammate he is, went over to Williamson to celebrate but was unsuccessful.

Eventually, Hart will figure out his high-five woes and put it all behind him. However, that doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon after what occurred on Thursday night.
Williamson had 23 points while Hart had seven through three-quarters of action against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
