Drawing start Monday Hardy is starting Monday's game against the Nets, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hardy will draw just his second start of the season as the Mavs have elected to shake up the first unit Monday. His last start dates back to Dec. 23 against Denver, finishing with 10 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

Starting for first time in 2025 Hardy is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Impact Hardy has been a healthy DNP in four of the Mavericks' last nine games, but the 2022 second-rounder will enter the starting lineup Tuesday for the first time this season due to the absence of P.J. Washington (foot). Hardy is averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 threes over 10.5 minutes per game this season.

Sees 11 minutes in loss Hardy notched four points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Monday's 119-113 loss to New Orleans.

Impact It's worth mentioning that Brandon Williams sprained his right ankle Monday, making his status worth monitoring. If Williams can't give it a go, it's possible Hardy gets a longer look. Hardy has averaged just 8.3 minutes across his last seven appearances.

Paces Dallas in blowout loss Hardy supplied 17 points (4-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds across 14 minutes during Monday's 120-96 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Hardy paced the Mavericks with a season-high 17 points, though it had little impact in an eventual blowout loss. The young guard's minutes have fluctuated throughout the year, as he's averaged 5.9 points in 10.9 minutes across 12 appearances. One factor that could help him secure a steadier role is his strong three-point shooting, as he's knocking down 45.5 percent of his attempts this season after hitting four from deep Monday.

Scoreless in loss Hardy finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 101-99 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Hardy has not been a consistent figure in the Mavericks' rotation, and barely sees the court as the third-string point guard behind D'Angelo Russell and Brandon Williams. He has gone scoreless in two straight contests, and will likely see very limited action moving forward.

NOVEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 11 points Hardy produced 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 21 minutes during Monday's 101-94 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Hardy played at least 20 minutes for the first time this season, tallying a season-high 11 points. Dallas is struggling to find a winning formula at the moment, having won just one of its four games thus far. While Hardy can provide an offensive boost off the bench, he is largely unproven when it comes to putting up consistent numbers. There is no reason to make him a prioroty right now, but he is worth keeping an eye moving forward.

Plays well off bench Hardy recorded 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three turnovers in 18 minutes of Monday's 114-101 preseason win over the Jazz.

Impact D'Angelo Russell was rested Monday, so the Mavericks opted to start Cooper Flagg at point guard. Hardy made the most of his limited run off the bench, but Ryan Nembhard, who is also vying for rotation minutes, played 26 minutes and had six points, 12 assists and five rebounds.

Takes 13 shots in win Hardy produced 12 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes of Monday's 106-89 preseason win over the Thunder.

Impact Mavericks coach Jason Kidd utilized 15 different players Monday, but it was Hardy who led the team in minutes played. Hardy is certainly not shy on the offensive end, and he seems determined to make his case for an early-season role in the absence of Kyrie Irving (knee).

Green light to play Friday Hardy (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Hardy missed the Mavericks' last two games due to a right ankle sprain, but he's progressed enough in his recovery to play in Friday's interconference clash. Hardy averaged 12.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 18.8 minutes per game in his nine outings prior to his most recent injury.

Questionable to face Toronto Hardy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Hardy is in danger of missing his third straight outing due to a sprained right ankle. If the 22-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Max Christie and Brandon Williams are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Out with ankle sprain Hardy is out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers with a sprained right ankle.

Impact Hardy will miss a second straight game Wednesday, and his next chance to return to play comes Friday against Toronto. The Mavericks have very little depth at point guard remaining at this stage of the season, leaving the team with Spencer Dinwiddie as their lone true floor general. Dinwiddie has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option, but he's averaged 16.4 points on 47.3 percent shooting from the field, 7.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 33.9 minutes across his last 14 contests overall.

Not playing Saturday Hardy (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact This is not surprising, as Hardy had to be helped off the court Friday after sustaining the injury late in the fourth quarter. His next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Wednesday, but it's unclear if the guard will be able to return to action before the end of the regular season.

Doubtful vs. LAC Hardy (leg) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Hardy is trending toward being sidelined for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers due to a sprained right ankle. If he's ultimately ruled out, Dallas will likely lean on Max Christie and Naji Marshall to pick up the slack off the bench in Los Angeles.
