Hardaway (6-5, 205) was acquired by the Mavericks in the seven-player trade that brought Kristaps Porzingis, Trey Burke and Courtney Lee to Dallas on Jan. 31, 2019. He shot a career-best 39.8 percent (204-513 3FGs) from beyond the arc in 2019-20. Hardaway’s 204 treys marked the second-most in a single season in Mavericks history (he joined George McCloud, 257 in 1995-96, as the only Mavericks with 200-plus triples in a season).
The 6-5 guard was selected by New York with the 24th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He earned NBA All-Rookie First Team honors and set a Knicks rookie record for 3-pointers made (130) in 2013-14.
Before declaring for the draft, Hardaway played three seasons at Michigan (2010-13), including his final two alongside Mavericks guard Trey Burke. As a junior, he was named First Team All-Big Ten by the coaches and Second Team All-Big Ten by the media and helped the Wolverines advance to 2013 national title game.
Hardaway is the son of five-time All-Star Tim Hardaway Sr., who played in 54 games for Dallas in 2001-02. The Hardaways became the first father/son combo in Mavericks history.
