Brooklyn Nets’ guard James Harden has been sidelined for a long time after his injured right hamstring caused trouble again. Nets coach Steve Nash later shared he would be back when he would be well there isn't a timeline to it. The 31-year-old underwent an MRI after he reinjured himself on the court and revealed that the injury is quite severe. The former Houston Rockets player has averaged 25.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 11 assists in 34 games and has been sidelined since 5th April.
The nine-time All-Star, three-time NBA scoring champion, and the league’s 2017-18 MVP were in contention for the MVP award as well but might be out of this race now. He moved to Nets this year itself after a three-way trade was made and had powered the team to big wins alongside Irving and Durant.
