As Luka Donu010diu0107 came back Tuesday from a three-game injury absence, the Mavericks were hopeful that some other things would return, too.
Like the versatility that has been a staple for Tim Hardaway Jr.
While Hardaway’s calling card is 3-point shooting, he’s always had the ability to mix in slithery moves to the basket that either finish with two points or two free throws.
Hardaway still is averaging more 3-pointers per game (7.2) than shots from inside the arc, less than five. What has changed is that the 6-5 guard has made only 44.
