Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. misses a three-point shot over Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey during the first half of an NBA game, Sunday, March 3, 2024, in Dallas.Tim Hardaway Jr. — the Mavericks’ veteran sixth man who, for the last two months, has been on the wrong end of the ups and downs of a basketball season — might’ve finally busted his slump.. His 31 minutes played where his most since 38 vs. the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 2.
He averaged just 10.6 points in 26.6 minutes per game in February. That’s dropped to 9.8 points per game on 18.6 minutes per game in March, and until Thursday’s game in Oklahoma City, he’d only played more than 18 minutes in two of the month’s seven games. Hardaway has spent the last four seasons of his Mavericks’ tenure as a part-time starter, part-time bench player, though this season he’s only started 10 of the 64 games that he’s played. Head coach Jason Kidd has lauded Hardaway’s professionalism and called him the “substitute teacher” of the Mavericks’ lineup.All of it — the role changes, the shift in minutes and the shooting skids — aren’t anything new to him though.“I’ve been dealing with that since I’ve been here, man,” Hardaway said.
“Continue just taking good shots, not forcing the issue,” Hardaway said. “When you do have an opportunity that presents itself to be aggressive, take it. You don’t know when you’re getting the opportunity again for the most part. Just be confident, just be persistent in whatever you’re doing out there on the floor.”, SportsDay HS reporter.
