Coach Jason Kidd said Hardy will start in Monday's preseason matchup against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
With both Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (rest) out, Hardy will return to the starting five. The 22-year-old is expected to serve as Irving's primary backup at shooting guard, though he will have to compete for playing time with Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes.
