Tim Hardaway Jr. is listed as questionable for the Heat's game at the Lakers on Monday night. His status is still Day-To-Day, and no return date has been announced.
What happened
Tim Hardaway Jr. is listed as questionable for Miami's game at the Lakers on Monday, according to the injury report posted at 2:35 PM ET. The Heat guard is Day-To-Day for a personal reason. He carried the same Day-To-Day label on Sunday, Nov. 1, when the report listed him as Personal, Other, so the status did not change. The report gives no further detail. Its comment reads: "Hardaway (personal) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers." No return date has been announced.
What it means for the Heat
The Heat play at the Lakers at 10:00 PM ET on Monday. Miami is 2-4, holds the 11th seed and has won its last two games. Hardaway has averaged 18.2 minutes, 6.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 6 games last season. The Heat are 2-4 with him and have not played a game without him, so there is no split to compare. If he sits, the rotation minutes in the box scores belong to Davion Mitchell (34.1), Pelle Larsson (29.5) and Andrew Wiggins (27.4), plus Klay Thompson (21.0) and Bobby Portis Jr. (22.8).
What to watch
The next injury report update, before the 10:00 PM ET tip, should settle whether Hardaway plays. The report lists no injury detail beyond personal, and no return date is announced. Miami comes in on a two-game winning streak, and the Lakers game is the next on its schedule. Watch who starts alongside Mitchell if Hardaway is ruled out, and whether his minutes shift to Larsson or Wiggins.
