The Big Three of the Brooklyn Nets won’t be complete once again, because James Harden will take his time off the court due to his right hamstring injury.
On Saturday, Harden left the court within less than a minute of play because of the injury that caused him during the early regular season.
The All-Star guard Harden already missed 20 out of 21 games this season. It is notable that he also missed April 1 and 4 games because of hamstring tightness, then later return on the following day. However, he only survived within 4 minutes before he left the court again. He took his time off until May 12, while his team endured 2 losses to the Bucks.
Brooklyn Nets will be updating his status as soon as information is readily available. Their coach Steve Nash also shared that Harden’s recent difficulty to cope with the injury caused him to be unavailable, so it’s hard for him to predict whether he will be joining in the next games or not. He also shared that he’s heartbroken for him because no one has any idea about his return to the court.
Kevin Durant also shared his sentiments because he wanted Harden to be on the court, but he has to condition himself first and he wished him for a speedy recovery.
James Harden is considered to be one of the most incredible shooters in NBA, and without his presence, it would create a massive impact on the Nets’ gameplay, despite having Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on the team. As of now, their main focus is to beat the Milwaukee Bucks for their best-of-seven game.
