Impact Hardy's absence will mark his third straight due to a sprained right ankle. He will have several days to recover following Sunday's contest, as the Mavericks do not play again until Thursday's matchup with the Clippers.

Doesn't practice Friday Hardy (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Hardy has missed Dallas' last two contests due to a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old guard's absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability against Golden State on Sunday.

Out again Tuesday Hardy (ankle) will miss Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact The guard will miss his second contest in a row Tuesday. Hardy is a fringe rotation player when the Mavericks are healthy, so this doesn't have many fantasy implications.

Won't play Saturday Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact As expected, Hardy won't play Saturday after he was listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report, and his next chance to play will be Tuesday against Oklahoma City. Hardy hasn't seen much playing time off the bench when Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic have been available, though more minutes may be available for Spencer Dinwiddie due to Hardy's injury.

Doubtful for Saturday Hardy is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Raptors due to a right ankle sprain, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.comreports.

Impact The doubtful tag suggests Hardy's chances of playing Saturday aren't very high. However, with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving available and ready to go, Hardy wasn't expected to see heavy minutes off the bench. When deployed off the bench, Hardy is logging just 13.2 minutes per game across 20 appearances.

Returns to bench Hardy isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Kyrie Irving will reclaim his starting spot from Hardy on Tuesday after missing Dallas' previous contest with a shoulder injury. Hardy is averaging 6.6 points, 1.8 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 17.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Irving on Sunday Hardy will enter the starting five in Sunday's game against Portland, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot) sidelined, Hardy will get the start on the wing alongside Quentin Grimes. In his last five outings (one start), Hardy has averaged 8.0 points, 1.4 assists, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 17.2 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench in Grimes' return Hardy will come off the bench for Wednesday's matchup against the Knicks.

Impact With Quentin Grimes returning from a one-game absence due to an illness, Hardy will shift back to a bench role. He still has some upside for a bigger role with Luka Doncic (wrist) sidelined, but he struggles with consistency.

Thrives in spot start Monday Hardy amassed 23 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 129-119 win over the Hawks.

Impact Hardy got the start Monday due to the absence of Luka Doncic (wrist). Hardy is no Doncic by any means, but he made a pretty good impression of the star guard by reaching the 20-point threshold while delivering solid numbers in other categories. Hardy could remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks as well, as Doncic is not expected to return until the Dec. 30 game against the Jazz at the earliest.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Draws spot start Hardy is starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Hardy will get the nod at point guard due to the absence of Luka Doncic (wrist). This marks Hardy's first start of the 2024-25 season. He's provided a spark off the bench at times this year, scoring in double figures in three of his last five appearances.

Nabs three steals Thursday Hardy chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 loss to Utah.

Impact The 22-year-old saw an uptick in playing time with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined Thursday, and he was able to tie Naji Marshall for the team high in steals. Hardy has seen a slight downturn in playing time compared to last season, and through 11 regular-season appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, he has averaged 3.8 points, 1.3 assists and 1.1 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per game. The guard has only played 20-plus minutes in two games thus far, and he is shooting only 34.9 percent from the field.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Provides spark off bench Hardy notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over Chicago.

Impact Hardy was Dallas' leading bench scorer during Wednesday's win. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 4.1 points in 10.9 minutes across seven appearances this season.

Mavericks, guard Jaden Hardy agree to $18 million, 3-year deal, AP source says

The Dallas Mavericks and guard Jaden Hardy have agreed on an $18 million, three-year contract extension, according to a person with knowledge of the deal

Jaden Hardy agrees to three-year extension with Mavs Shams Charania: Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy has agreed to a three-year, $18 million rookie contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Har...

OCTOBER 21 • HOOPSHYPE.COM

Signs three-year extension Hardy and the Mavericks agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Hardy has showcased immense upside in his first two seasons in the NBA, but he faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time. As long as Luka Doncic (calf), Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson are healthy, it'll be difficult for Hardy to provide quality fantasy production. However, if any of those players are sidelined for an extended period this season, Hardy would be a primary beneficiary.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Thursday Hardy isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks.

Impact The Mavericks are starting Kyrie Irving and Quentin Grimes in the backcourt, so Hardy will return to the bench. That's the role he's expected to have when the 2024-25 regular season begins for Dallas, so Hardy isn't worth targeting in most drafts.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting five Monday Coach Jason Kidd said Hardy will start in Monday's preseason matchup against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact With both Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (rest) out, Hardy will return to the starting five. The 22-year-old is expected to serve as Irving's primary backup at shooting guard, though he will have to compete for playing time with Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting vs. Utah Hardy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks are starting Klay Thompson and Kyrie Irving for this preseason contest, so Hardy should see minutes off the bench. However, both starters will have a minutes restriction, so Hardy should still see minutes throughout the contest.

OCTOBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Hardy totaled 21 points (6-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 121-116 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Hardy led all scorers with 21 points and looked sharp from beyond the arc, though it's also worth noting that he logged a game-high 34 minutes, which inflated his final line. He figures to face an uphill battle for regular playing time competing against the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes, but Monday's performance was a strong way to kick off the preseason for the young guard.

Cleans up in garbage time Hardy closed with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Impact Hardy scored 11 points in about five minutes of fourth-quarter garbage time. Considering the defensive presences of Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, it may be difficult for Hardy to make an impact, though he'll likely continue to see light minutes to spell Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Heats up off bench in Game 4 Hardy posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact Hardy has yet to play more than 12 minutes in any game in the series, and he's yet to log more than 15 minutes in any playoff appearance this season, but he made the most of his time in this Game 4 loss to score in double digits. The lack of minutes he's seen suggests this was a one-off appearance, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't trust him in Game 5 of the series Thursday.
