DALLAS — Tim Hardaway Jr. expected to spend Wednesday preparing to face the Sacramento Kings and help the Mavericks salvage their waning play-in tournament hopes.
Instead, he watched footage of his dad, former Maverick and Hall of Famer Tim Hardaway Sr., criticizing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving’s leadership and knew he needed to focus on settling a potential riff with his superstar teammates instead.
After his dad’s appearance on an FS1 debate show, Tim Hardaway Jr. requested to speak with reporters from The Dallas Morning News and ESPN to “set the record straight” about his stance on the comments.
