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

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

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Hardy sprained his right ankle late in the fourth quarter of Friday's 114-91 loss to LA and will be forced to miss at least one game due to the injury. After Friday's contest, the Mavericks will have three days off before returning to action Wednesday against the Lakers. Hardy should have a good chance at being available for that game if he's able to practice Monday or Tuesday.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Unlikely to play Saturday
Rotowire
Hardy is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained right ankle.
Hardy sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter of Friday's 114-91 loss to the Clippers and looks on track to miss the second leg of a back-to-back set. His expected absence could free up some more playing time for Max Christie and Caleb Martin (hip) on the second unit.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Leaves Friday's game with injury
Rotowire
Hardy suffered an apparent leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Friday's 114-91 loss to the Clippers and didn't return, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Hardy turned in a productive outing off the bench prior to his departure, finishing with 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 29 minutes. Though the Mavericks didn't provide any details about his injury after the game, Hardy required assistance off the court from the training staff when he checked out of the contest with 2:13 remaining. Dallas faces a quick turnaround with a rematch with the Clippers on Saturday, and Hardy could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for that contest.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Exits late in fourth quarter
Rotowire
Hardy departed Friday's game against the Clippers in the latter stages of the fourth quarter due to an apparent leg injury, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Hardy had to be helped off the floor, and further tests will be needed to determine the severity of the injury. Hardy finished the game with 16 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench. He should be considered questionable for the second leg of the back-to-back set against the Clippers on Saturday. That said, his chances of playing should be very slim -- at best -- considering he had to be helped off the floor by his teammates and the medical staff.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Solid display off bench
Rotowire
Hardy finished Thursday's 101-92 win over the Magic with 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds over 20 minutes.
Hardy was one of several Dallas players who posted a solid line coming off the bench, and this 22-point output was his second-best output since the All-Star break. He's been on a solid run of play recently, scoring 15 or more points in three of his last five outings and averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the floor in that span.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Shines off bench
Rotowire
Hardy closed with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to New York.
With Anthony Davis getting the night off for injury maintenance, Hardy was able to soak up some extra reps off the bench. He had scored a combined four points in 23 minutes of his previous two contests, so fantasy managers will need to see this kind of production when the Mavericks are closer to full strength to warrant a pickup in most cases.
Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Puts up 24 points in return
Rotowire
Hardy (ankle) notched 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 loss to the Pacers.
Back in action after missing Dallas' last seven games due to a right ankle sprain, Hardy took on a prominent role off the bench right away for the injury-plagued Mavericks, who had just eight players available. Even if he continues to come off the bench moving forward, Hardy could serve as a key scoring option for the Mavericks while Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season. However, after leading the Mavericks on Wednesday with a 31.3 percent usage rate, Hardy could see a slight decline in his overall shot volume if Klay Thompson (illness) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) are cleared to play in Dallas' next game Friday versus the Pistons.

After missing the last seven games for the Mavericks with an ankle injury, Hardy will get back on the floor Wednesday in Indiana. The 22-year-old guard averages 8.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 42.8 percent from the floor and 38.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Iffy to face Indiana
Rotowire
Hardy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Hardy has missed the Mavericks' last seven outings due to the sprained right ankle, though he joined the club's G League affiliate for 5-on-5 work Monday and is progressing toward a return. If the 22-year-old combo guard remains on the shelf Wednesday, Brandon Williams and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time.

Rotowire
Dallas recalled Hardy from the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Heads to G League
Rotowire
The Mavericks assigned Hardy to the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.
Anthony Davis (thigh) was also assigned and will be going through a 5-on-5 scrimmage, so it's safe to assume Hardy will do the same. Hardy has missed seven straight games due to a sprained right ankle but doesn't have a return timetable, with NBA reporter Chris Haynes simply relaying that Hardy was expected to miss "a period of time" after suffering the injury.

Hardy (ankle) will not play Friday against the Rockets.
Hardy has not returned for the Mavericks ever since he sustained an ankle injury March 3, meaning he will now miss his sixth consecutive game.
