Hardaway finished the 2014-15 season with averages of 11.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.7 three-pointers in 24.0 minutes per game across 70 appearances (30 starts) for the Knicks. |
Hardaway sprained the wrist on his shooting hand in mid-March, forcing him to miss nine games, but ultimately, he finished third on the Knicks in games played this season. While his scoring average jumped by just over one-point, Hardaway's shooting percentages fell in his second season. The streaky sixth man-type converted under 39 percent of his field goal attempts, with just 34.2 percent of his three-pointers going in. As a result, the mostly one-dimensional Hardaway will hope to put together a more consistent season in 2015-16. |

Hardaway had a great finish to the season. Over his final two games, he combined to go 16-for-29 from the field and 8-for-17 from the three-point line to score 48 points. Hopefully he'll be able to build on that momentum heading into next season. |

Hardaway will enter the starting lineup Friday against Milwaukee, Steve Popper of The Record reports. |
Hardaway has come off the bench for the last three games, but he'll be moved back into the starting five as coach Derek Fisher once again shuffles his lineup. Regardless of the starting designation, Hardaway will likely see his usual workload of 22-28 minutes. He's coming off of back-to-back 12-point outings Sunday (Philadelphia) and Wednesday (Indiana). |

Hardaway (wrist) will play Friday against the Wizards, MSG Broadcaster Tina Cervasio reports. |
Hardaway sprained his right wrist two weeks ago and as recently as Wednesday reportedly still couldn't shoot a basketball yet. Nonetheless, the second-year player will apparently suit up Friday, although his minutes could be limited. While it will be interesting to see how Hardaway fares Friday, he's expected to come off the bench for whatever involvement he receives. |

Hardaway (wrist) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Steve Popper of The Record reports. |
As expected, Hardaway will remain out as he continues to recovery from a wrist injury. He said Tuesday that he still can't shoot with his right hand, so he doesn't appear particularly close to returning. |
Tue Mar 31 2015 | 13:36 | Hardaway (wrist) will likely sit out Wednesday |
Hardaway (wrist) will likely sit out Wednesday, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports. |
Hardaway, who has missed the last seven games, still cannot shoot with his right hand, so unless he makes major progress overnight, expect an eighth straight absence. Ricky Ledo and Langston Galloway have been able to pick up some extra minutes in Hardaway's absence. |

Hardaway (wrist) will be held out again Friday. |
It will be the seventh straight absence for Hardaway, who continues to nurse a wrist injury. Coach Derek Fisher said that the guard is close to returning, however. "He's doing more each day, but he's still having some pain and his range of motion is not enough," Fisher said. Given their situation, the Knicks certainly won't rush Hardaway back, but he'll likely return to action next week, barring a setback. |

Hardaway (wrist) will not play Wednesday against the Clippers, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. |
Hardaway will miss a sixth straight game since injuring his wrist last Sunday against the Suns. The Knicks, whose motives as a franchise at this point in the season may not be geared toward winning, certainly won't rush Hardaway back, and it's possible he could miss additional time. |

Hardaway (wrist) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers but is listed as a likely starter, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports. |
With Alexey Shved (ribs) and Hardaway both missing the last game, Langston Galloway and Shane Larkin combined for a ridiculous 87 minutes against the Grizzlies. Hardaway has missed five consecutive games and seven of the last 10, but he could return to log heavy minutes, especially if Shved (ribs) is absent. |
Mon Mar 23 2015 | 19:16 | Hardaway (wrist) not playing Monday |
Hardaway (wrist) is not playing Monday, Newsday reports. |
Hardaway is missing his fifth straight game. He's a streaky scorer, and with most of his value coming from points and three-pointers in fantasy, Hardaway's fantasy value is mercurial even when he's playing a heaping helping of minutes. Unfortunately, if he wasn't able to command a big role on this terrible Knicks squad, it's hard to be excited about his prospects for next season. Hardaway's next opportunity to return to action would be Wednesday's game against the Lakers. |

Coach Derek Fisher didn't offer much insight into the situation, but he noted that Hardaway's timeline is "a little longer" than that of fellow injured teammate Cleanthony Early, who is also listed as day-to-day with an ankle issue. Right now, it sounds as though Hardaway will likely miss another couple of contests before getting back on the floor. |

Hardaway suffered a sprained right wrist and will not return to Sunday's game against the Suns. |
Hardaway sprained his other wrist in mid-January and didn't miss any time, but it's probably a tougher injury to deal with on his shooting hand. He has come off the bench in all three games since returning from back spasms, and his minutes will likely be covered by multiple players for the rest of Sunday's game. New York's next contest is scheduled for Tuesday against the Spurs. |
