The Hawks downgraded Tim Hardaway Jr. to questionable in advance of Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Hardaway has missed two straight games with a right groin injury. The reserve guard was listed as probable and expected to play in Monday’s game at the Timberwolves. However, after warming up prior to the game he was not 100 percent and a late inactive.

Hardaway suffered the injury taking off for an alley-oop dunk in last week’s home game against the Timberwolves. He played just one minute before having to leave the game.
