Tim Hardaway Jr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (head) is expected to miss his second game in a row after suffering a head laceration against the Miami Heat. There's a slight chance he could play, but doubtful tags are rarely upgraded to available. Jaden Ivey (toe) could also be out since he's listed as questionable, so that leaves the Pistons with a thinner backcourt. Ron Holland II would join the starting five again, if that's the case, and Marcus Sasser would see some extra minutes off of the bench.

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is on his way to Detroit on Friday after the two sides agreed to a trade. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Hardaway and three second-round picks are going to the Pistons while Quentin Grimes is coming to Dallas. The veteran shooter was a mainstay in the team's offense over the last five seasons. When it came to their Finals run this season, Hardaway was relegated to the bench and saw the least amount of time on the court in his Dallas tenure. He played 12.7 minutes per contest throughout the playoffs and didn't get on the court at all at some points. During the regular season, he averaged 14.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.7 threes per game while shooting .402/.353/.852.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. has been linked with a move back to the Eastern Conference. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Detroit Pistons have emerged as a potential trade destination for the former Knicks and Hawks player. It's hard to imagine Hardaway Jr. staying in Dallas for another campaign after he fell out of the rotation in the 2024 playoffs. However, he enjoyed a solid regular season, averaging 14.4 points, and could definitely do a good job for several other teams.
