Tim Hardaway Jr. is listed as questionable in advance of Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Hardaway suffered a right groin injury in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. He played just 1:03 and left immediately after an alley-oop dunk. The Hawks first listed his return as questionable following the injury and then updated that he would not return at halftime.

Following the game, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said the team didn’t want to risk putting Hardaway back in the game after he sat out for so long.

Hardaway accompanied the Hawks to Denver.

With Hardaway unable to play Wednesday, rookie Taurean Prince played 10:31.
