  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Hardy chipped in seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 loss to Utah. With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined Thursday, the 22-year-old Hardy saw an uptick in playing time and was able to tie Naji Marshall for the team high in steals. Hardy has seen a slight downturn in playing time compared to last season, and through 11 regular-season appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, he has averaged 3.8 points, 1.3 assists and 1.1 rebounds across 12.6 minutes per game. The guard has only played 20-plus minutes in two games thus far and is shooting only 34.9 percent from the field.

• Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Signs three-year extension

  Hardy and the Mavericks agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Hardy has showcased immense upside in his first two seasons in the NBA, but he faces an uphill battle for consistent playing time. As long as Luka Doncic (calf), Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson are healthy, it'll be difficult for Hardy to provide quality fantasy production. However, if any of those players are sidelined for an extended period this season, Hardy would be a primary beneficiary.

• Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Moves back to bench Thursday

  10/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hardy isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Bucks. The Mavericks are starting Kyrie Irving and Quentin Grimes in the backcourt, so Hardy will return to the bench. That's the role he's expected to have when the 2024-25 regular season begins for Dallas, so Hardy isn't worth targeting in most drafts.
