The Dallas Mavericks were dealt another blow late Tuesday afternoon when it was announced that guard Tim Hardaway Jr. will miss tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
Tipoff is at 7:30 at American Airlines Center.
In addition to Hardaway, other Mavs who will also miss tonight’s game include Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness), Reggie Bullock (health and safety protocols), Maxi Kleber (health and safety protocols), Josh Green (health and safety protocols), Willie Cauley-Stein (personal reasons) and Eugene Omoruyi (right foot injury). In addition, Kristaps Porzingis (right toe soreness) will not play in tonight’s game after getting injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s contest against Minnesota.
On Monday the Mavs signed forward Theo Pinson to a 10-day contract under the COVID-related hardship allowance. Pinson played for the G League’s Maine Celtics this season.
Earlier today, the Mavs also signed forward Marquese Chriss to a 10-day contract under the COVID-related hardship allowance. Chriss played two games for the Golden State Warriors last year before his season ended due to an injury to his right leg.
