Full go in practice Harden practiced without limitations Thursday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Harden was a full participation Thursday, his first practice with the Rockets since joining the team in Orlando for the season restart. The news serves as a confirmation that the 2018 NBA MVP has passed all COVID-19-related protocols. Coach Mike D'Antoni noted that he didn't see "any difference whatsoever" in Harden's physical abilities during practice, per Mark Medina of USA Today, so all indications are that he'll be ready to play against the Mavericks on July 31 when Houston resumes its season.

Impact The 2018 NBA MVP didn't accompany the Rockets' main traveling party to the Walt Disney World complex last week, but now that he's in Orlando and has apparently passed all COVID-19-related protocols, he looks like he'll be ready to go when Houston resumes its season July 31 versus the Mavericks. Harden had been averaging 36.7 minutes per contest for the season prior to the NBA going on hiatus, but because of the lengthy layoff and his limited training time, he could have his playing time managed more carefully in his first few games back in action.
