Could be back Saturday Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash said after Wednesday's 124-118 loss to Denver that he's hopeful Harden (hamstring) will be available for Saturday's game at Golden State, Kristian Wi... Impact That being said, Winfield noted that Nash didn't give a definitive answer that Harden would be available Saturday, which suggests that his absence for Wednesday's game wasn't merely the result of the 32-year-old getting some maintenance for the second half of the back-to-back set. Harden notably contended with multiple hamstring-related setbacks during the second half of his first season in Brooklyn, so the Nets could be inclined to proceed cautiously with him if the training staff isn't convinced he's close to 100 percent heading into the weekend. If Harden isn't ready to go for the start of the Nets' five-game road trip, Kyrie Irving would serve as the Nets' primary point guard and playmaker, while players like Patty Mills, Cam Thomas and DeAndre' Bembry could be in store for enhanced roles.
