Tim Hardaway Sr. says he will not allow his son, Tim Hardaway Jr., to wear the retired No. 10 jersey with the Miami Heat. Multiple reports describe Hardaway Sr.’s decision as straightforward, tied to the retired number and what he frames as personal legacy. Hardaway Jr. has long worn No. 10, using it as a tribute to his father during high school, college, and much of his NBA career, according to The Athletic. Yahoo Sports adds that Hardaway Sr. discussed the issue with his son years earlier, when Hardaway Jr. previously nearly signed with Miami as a free agent. Fox News reports that Hardaway Jr. recently joins the Heat on a contract reported as worth $6.5 million, and that Hardaway Sr. maintains his retired No. 10 is off limits. While accounts differ slightly in wording—some emphasize a “numbers game” explanation—sources agree on the core point: Hardaway Sr. refuses to permit his son to wear his retired jersey number with Miami.
