EDGE Analysis

Hardaway was deemed probable for Thursday's matchup due to back spasms, so it isn't very surprising that he'll be able to suit up once again. In his return from a one-game absence Tuesday against the Lakers, he tallied 32 points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal in 37 minutes.

Hardaway (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway continues to deal with back spasms but is expected to suit up for Thursday's contest. The 31-year-old guard played 37 minutes and scored 32 points in Dallas' most recent outing Tuesday, so there is no reason to expect Hardaway to be on a minutes restriction.

Hardaway (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway (back) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway is at risk of missing a second consecutive game due to back spasms. Seth Curry started in Hardaway's place Monday, but he and Derrick Jones (quad) combined for just 11 points. Jaden Hardy provided the spark with 19 points off the bench and could be a candidate to reprise a key role if Hardaway can't suit up Tuesday.

Hardaway will miss Monday's game against Memphis due to back spasms, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway's back appears to have flared up throughout the day Monday, and he will be unable to suit up for the third time in his past five games due to back troubles. Seth Curry and Dante Exum are candidates to start, while Derrick Jones will likely be busy off the bench. With Kyrie Irving (foot) also sidelined, Jaden Hardy's offensive firepower could come into play as well.

Hardaway is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Grizzlies due to back spasms.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway is a late addition to the injury report with a back issue, which is never a good sign. With Kyrie Irving (foot) sidelined, the Mavericks could use Hardaway's scoring punch.

Hardaway finished Wednesday's 147-97 win over the Jazz with 17 points (5-14 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway returned to action Wednesday after missing the previous two contests with a back injury. The 31-year-old guard has struggled with his efficiency lately, converting on just 34.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and 31.7 percent of his three-point attempts in his last five appearances. However, Hardaway continues to be Dallas' go-to scoring option off the bench.

Hardaway (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Hardaway and Kyrie Irving (foot) have both been upgraded to available, but Grant Williams (knee) remains questionable. If Williams joins Josh Green (elbow) on the sidelines again, Hardaway could see increased usage, though he may be limited coming off a two-game absence.
