Recovered from injury Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Harden (foot) is "good to go", Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Harden missed the Clippers' regular-season finale with a right foot inflammation but should be available for Sunday's Game 1 against the Mavericks. The star guard will likely reclaim his starting spot from Xavier Moon.

Out for season finale Harden (foot) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Rockets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact The Clippers are opting to sit all their starters ahead of playoff competition, which will result in Xavier Moon and Terance Mann starting in Los Angeles' backcourt. Harden will have time to get his health back up to par ahead of the team's Round 1 matchup.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Harden is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right foot inflammation.

Impact The Clippers already know they'll face the Mavericks in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, so they could very well sit Harden to avoid any further injuries ahead of the postseason. If Harden doesn't play, then Russell Westbrook could have a larger role in the backcourt.

Limited time in return from injury Harden logged four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and five assists over 10 minutes during Friday's 110-109 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Harden returned Friday from a two-game absence while dealing with a foot injury, playing a limited role along with other Clippers starters as the postseason approaches. Harden led all starters with a handful of assists while adding a quartet of points over just 10 minutes of action. Los Angeles wraps up the regular season Sunday and it's likely we see Harden play a limited role again, if at all.

Will play Friday Harden (foot) will play against the Jazz on Friday, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Impact Harden will be returning from a two-game absence, and there's no word of any restrictions. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined, Harden could see a boost in usage rate.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Present at shootaround Harden (foot) was seen at shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Jazz, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harden is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right foot inflammation that caused him to miss the Clippers' last two contests. However, the star guard's presence at practice is a good sign of his availability against Utah.
