Could miss time Hardy, who suffered a right ankle sprain Monday against the Thunder, is likely to miss a period of time, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Impact The news gets even worse for a Dallas team that just lost Kyrie Irving (knee) for the season. If Hardy does end up missing time as Haynes reports, it's likely that Dante Exum and Spencer Dinwiddie would need to step into larger roles. More clarity is to be expected at some point Tuesday evening.

Won't return with ankle sprain Hardy will not return to Monday's game against the Kings due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact The severity of the injury is unknown, but Hardy can be deemed day-to-day ahead of his next chance to play Wednesday in Milwaukee. His night ends after 15 minutes of action and after logging eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal. Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie should see more playing time off the bench.

Goes back to locker room Monday Hardy sustained an apparent right ankle injury during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Kings and exited to the locker room, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Hardy was able to put some weight on the right leg while limping off the court, which is a positive sign for the 22-year-old. The third-year guard started the second half in place of Kyrie Irving (knee), and if Hardy joins Irving on the sideline for the remainder of the game, Spencer Dinwiddie will likely receive a bump in minutes.

Pops for 16 off bench Hardy closed with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound and four assists over 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 132-117 loss to the Bucks.

Impact It's the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he hung 21 points on the Cavaliers back on Feb. 2. An ankle sprain has cost Hardy five of the Mavs' 11 games since then, but he looked fully recovered Saturday as he drained at least four treys for the first time since Jan. 15. If he can stay healthy, Hardy could carve out a significant role in a Dallas backcourt that hasn't been getting consistent production from anyone except Kyrie Irving.

Scores 11 points in second half Hardy amassed 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and one assist across 16 minutes during Sunday's 126-102 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Hardy didn't see the floor until the second half of Sunday's game as the Mavericks found themselves down by as much as 29 points. He took advantage of the prolonged playing time by leading the Mavs' reserves with 11 points. Hardy has been a healthy DNP in four of Dallas' nine games in February, so his production can't be relied on by fantasy managers on a night-to-night basis.

Surpasses 20 points off bench Hardy amassed 21 points (8-19 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 144-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Hardy led the way for Dallas in Sunday's blowout contest, pacing all Mavericks in scoring and threes made while surpassing the 20-point mark in a losing effort. Hardy has tallied 20 or more points in four outings, having reached double figures in scoring in three of his last five appearances.

Puts up 10 points in return Hardy (ankle) tallied 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes Saturday in the Mavericks' 122-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Hardy and Quentin Grimes accounted for all but one of the Mavericks' 31 bench points as the former made his return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The Mavericks should have a spot in the rotation available for Hardy so long as Luka Doncic (calf) is sidelined, but unless Dallas is without at least one or two of Kyrie Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie and Klay Thompson for a given game, Hardy is unlikely to see enough minutes to make for an appealing streaming option for points and three-pointers in most leagues.

Will play against Boston Hardy (ankle) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Impact After missing the last three games for the Mavericks, Hardy will get back on the floor Saturday against the defending NBA champions in an NBA Finals rematch in Dallas. The 22-year-old guard will have a 15-minute limit in his return against the Celtics, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Hardy's absence streak will extend to three games Thursday due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Boston.

JANUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Hardy will miss his second straight game Wednesday as he deals with an ankle sprain. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 8.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season, shooting 42.7 percent from the floor and 39.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Done for night due to ankle Hardy won't return to Friday's game against the Thunder due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Hardy collided with Isaiah Joe after stepping onto the court for just a single minute. He had a pretty significant limp afterwards and the Mavericks were quick to rule him out. For now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte.

Provides spark off bench Hardy racked up 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Hardy was Dallas' second-leading scorer during Wednesday's loss despite coming off the bench. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 13.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances. Hardy has also displayed impressive efficiency over that span, shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 52.1 on 4.8 three-point attempts per contest.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs season-high 25 points Hardy supplied 25 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 victory over Portland.

Impact Hardy took advantage of Kyrie Irving's (back) absence and posted his best total of the season off the bench. Klay Thompson got off to a cold start, allowing Hardy to step in alongside Spencer Dinwiddie. Hardy didn't meet expectations initially as the roster grew thin, but his performance on Thursday proved his ability to make an impact when he is called upon. He's now logged five consecutive games of double-digit scoring.
