BREAKING: More Injury Woes for Mavericks as Key Reserve Heads to Locker Room
DALLAS, TX – The Dallas Mavericks’ injury struggles took another hit as key reserve player Tim Hardaway Jr. was forced to leave the game early due to an apparent injury.
The incident occurred in the second quarter of the Mavericks’ matchup against the Golden State Warriors when Hardaway landed awkwardly after a contested layup attempt. He immediately grabbed his ankle and showed visible discomfort. After attempting to walk it off, the Mavericks’ medical staff quickly assessed him and escorted him to the locker room for further evaluation.
This marks yet another setback for Dallas, which has already been dealing with a string of injuries this season. Star player Luka Dončić has been managing a lingering ankle issue, while Kyrie Irving recently missed time with a knee sprain. With the team battling for playoff positioning, losing key rotation players could prove costly.
Head coach Jason Kidd addressed the situation postgame, saying, “It’s tough to see another guy go down, especially someone as important as Tim. We’re hoping for the best and will know more after further tests.”
The severity of Hardaway’s injury remains unclear, and fans are anxiously awaiting an official update from the team. The Mavericks will provide more details as soon as they become available.
