Jaden Hardy Makes First Start of Season for Mavericks

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy is in the starting lineup against the Nuggets, marking his first start of the season. This opportunity arises due to the absence of P.J. Washington (foot). Hardy, who has been a healthy DNP in four of the last nine games, is averaging 5.7 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.1 threes over 10.5 minutes per game this season.
