Hardaway Shifts to Bench Role for Nuggets Against Raptors

Tim Hardaway will move to a reserve role for the Denver Nuggets in Wednesday's game against the Raptors, with Jalen Pickett entering the starting five. This change comes despite Hardaway recently taking on an expanded role due to Cameron Johnson's (knee) absence. Over his last five games, which included three starts, Hardaway has averaged 19.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 4.4 threes across 31.2 minutes per game, showcasing strong production even with the lineup adjustment.
