• Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Unlikely to return for playoffs

  03/22/2022 •

  Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Tuesday that Hardaway (foot) would unlikely be able to return for a potential playoff run, NBA writer Marc Stein reports. Hardaway suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal on his left foot at the end of January and underwent surgery a few days later. There haven't been any reports of a setback, but Kidd said "he's a ways away" and shook his head when asked about a potential return during the playoffs. Fantasy managers still rostering Hardaway can safely drop him, as many leagues don't extend past March. In his likely absence, Dallas will have to rely heavily on the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Reggie Bullock and Josh Green for the remainder of the campaign.

  Hardaway suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal on his left foot during Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. More information on treatment and recovery time will likely arrive in the coming days, but Hardaway could easily be out until March. Fantasy managers rostering Hardaway may need to drop him, as many leagues don't extend past March. Even if Hardaway does recover relatively quickly, he'll probably still face a significant ramp-up period where he's not seeing his usual workload. In his absence, more minutes will be available for Reggie Bullock, Sterling Brown and other shooting wings.

The Mavericks struggled offensively as a team Wednesday, and Hardaway was one of three players who managed to score in double digits alongside Jalen Brunson and Luka Doncic. The veteran guard has started just one game since the beginning of December, and while his scoring figures have been inconsistent at times, he still has scored in double figures in four of his last six contests.
