The Dallas Mavericks have decided to shut down Jaden Hardy for the rest of the 2023 NBA Summer League due to a shoulder contusion.
McKinley Wright is also being labeled as out indefinitely with an ankle sprain, and with just two games remaining on the schedule, he is likely to miss both.
According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the decision to sit Hardy for the rest of the games in Vegas is precautionary.
The Mavericks' decision to shelve Jaden Hardy for the remainder of Vegas play was precautionary, league sources say. Hardy sustained the shoulder contusion in Wednesday's win over Golden State but the injury, I'm told, is not considered serious.
