Jaden Hardy News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Drops out of rotation Sunday Hardy (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Wizards' 123-88 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Though Washington ruled out seven players ahead of Sunday's contest, head coach Brian Keefe maintained a 10-man rotation, and Hardy ended up being the odd man out. Hardy had previously appeared in eight consecutive games, averaging 13.9 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.4 minutes per contest over that stretch. The fourth-year wing should have a good chance at re-entering the rotation Monday against the Lakers, though the Wizards aren't expected to provide any clarity prior to the game regarding whether Hardy will play.

Goes for 21 points in win Hardy contributed 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 win over the Jazz.

Impact Hardy scored at least 20 points for the second straight game, continuing to provide the Wizards with a consistent scoring punch off the bench. In four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 17.3 points and 4.3 three-pointers, and yet still ranks outside the top 200 during that time. A lack of peripheral production remains an issue, limiting Hardy in terms of overall appeal.

Strong line off bench Hardy logged 25 points (9-18 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.

Impact This game was over in a hurry, so Hardy was able to take advantage of some garbage time. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 13.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.

Chips in across the board Hardy chipped in 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 130-117 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Hardy logged 32 minutes, the most he has played since joining Washington. He ended the night scoring double digits for the 11th time in 15 appearances as a Wizard. It's almost impossible to get a read on what the rotation is going to look like from one night to the next. At this point, managers should look at Hardy as a potential streaming consideration when in need of points and threes.

Provides spark off bench Tuesday Hardy provided 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 loss to Miami.

Impact Hardy is carving out a decent role with the Wizards and should continue to battle with Sharife Cooper for backcourt reserve minutes. Hardy has scored in double figures in all but one of his 10 outings with Washington, averaging 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per game.

Scores double digits again Hardy provided 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Monday's 123-118 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Hardy continues to provide the Wizards with an offensive punch off the bench, tallying double digits for the sixth straight appearance. While he has managed to flash some offensive upside, Hardy's peripheral production remains basically non-existent. In his six games as a Wizard, Hardy has recorded a total of 14 rebounds, three assists and three combined steals and blocks.

Drops 11 points in loss Hardy posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) over 20 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Hardy scored double digits for the fifth straight appearance, although his peripheral production remains basically non-existent. In fact, in those five games since joining the Wizards, Hardy has recorded a total of just 11 rebounds, two assists and three combined steals and blocks. At best, managers in deeper formats could consider streaming him in for points and threes.

Drops 16 points in loss Hardy recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Hardy has scored in double figures and knocked down at least three triples in all three games for the Wizards since being acquired at the deadline. The 23-year-old guard's playing time could vary game to game as Washington's rotations have been difficult to predict in recent weeks.

Strong debut in loss Hardy posted 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hardy, who made his Washington debut after being acquired from Dallas at the trade deadline, put together a terrific showing in his debut. Player development is going to be a big focus after the All-Star break, so opportunities may arise for Hardy.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Officially available Hardy (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Hardy is available for the first time since being traded from Dallas to Washington, though it's unclear how large a role, if any, he'll play for his new team. Keep an eye out for an update on Keshawn George (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (heel) closer to tipoff, as both are listed as questionable. If one, or both, are sidelined, Hardy could be tasked with a sizeable role.
