Dallas Mavericks wing Tim Hardaway Jr. is ready for NBA Disney

The Dallas Mavericks are just beginning their preparations for the NBA’s restart. They depart for Orlando on July 8. The Mavs will begin training camp 2.0 after arriving. Their first game is on July 31 against the Rockets. Tim Hardaway Jr. may already be ready.

Mavericks fans know he spent most of the NBA’s suspension in Miami. Hardaway Jr. began working out there. He was getting up shots and locking in ahead of the restart.

Hardaway Jr. becoming Dallas’ third scorer has been one of the keys to the team’s improvement. He is shooting over 40 percent from 3-point range for the first time in his career. That has been sparked by playing next to Luka Doncic. Read more about the connection between the two Mavs here.
