With Jaden Hardy, patience has indeed been a virtue.
All season long, the Dallas Mavericks’ rookie guard has been waiting patiently for his opportunity to show the team what he can do when given ample playing time. That time came Thursday when Hardy scored a career-high tying 15 points in 15 minutes against the Boston Celtics.
But certainly not one to rest on his laurels, Hardy followed his show-stopping performance against the Celtics with a career-high tying 15 points in 21 minutes during Saturday’s 127-117 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
