James Harden News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Listed questionable for Friday Harden (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Harden missed Wednesday's loss against the Suns due to right foot inflammation, but it seems he might be back just in time to feature in the final two games of the regular season, knowing a win Friday would lock the Clippers into the fourth seed of the Western Conference. Harden has averaged 13.2 points, 9.5 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

Ruled out against Suns Harden (foot) will not play against the Suns on Tuesday, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Harden will sit for the first time in April, but this isn't a big shock after the guard sat out of the morning shootaround. Russell Westbrook will start in Harden's place, and he and Paul George are likely to see significant usage rate spikes.

Sits out shootaround Harden (undisclosed) was present but didn't participate in the Clippers' morning shootaround ahead of Tuesday's game against the Suns, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast rep...

Impact Harden has dealt with right foot soreness over the last week but hasn't missed a contest since a two-game absence in mid-March due to a shoulder injury. It's unclear why he didn't participate in the shootaround, but the Clippers haven't added Harden to the injury report yet.

Scores 22 points vs. Cavs Harden chipped in 22 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-118 win over Cleveland.

Impact Harden managed to suit up for Sunday's game after being listed as questionable due to right foot soreness. He was second in the scoring column for the Clippers behind Paul George, and his four three-point makes was the first time he's reached that mark since March 20 against the Trail Blazers. Harden has scored 20-plus points in two of his last three games after failing to reach that mark in his 12 prior appearances. He's averaging 14.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 9.4 assists over 34.5 minutes per game since March 1.

Officially available Sunday Harden (foot) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game versus Cleveland, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Harden will take his typical place in the starting lineup, with Terance Mann, Paul George, P.J. Tucker and Ivica Zubac flanking him Sunday. Harden is averaging 13.0 points, 10.3 assists and 7.0 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game across his last three appearances.

Warming up, on track to play Harden is going through pregame warm-ups and is "expected to play" Sunday versus Cleveland, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact Harden suiting up would bring the Clippers' backcourt to full strength against a Cleveland squad lacking Donovan Mitchell (knee) on Sunday. He has yet to be officially cleared, but Harden is trending in the right direction.

Downgraded to questionable Harden is questionable for Sunday's game versus Cleveland due to right foot soreness, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Harden has suited up in 11 straight contest for the Clippers, logging no fewer than 31 minutes in any appearance over that span, but his status is in jeopardy for Sunday's game. Terance Mann and Amir Coffey would likely have enlarged workloads if Harden can't play, while ballhandling duties will be distributed across the roster.

Posts triple-double in blowout Harden had 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and 15 assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 131-102 win over the Jazz.

Impact Harden has had an excellent run during Kawhi Leonard's (knee) absence, providing elite ancillary numbers across the board. Although his result beyond the arc was atypical, he made solid contributions in secondary categories to earn his third-triple-double of the season. Over three games without Leonard, Harden has averaged 13.0 points, 10.3 assists and 7.0 rebounds.

Impact The Clippers were down by 17 points in the first quarter, but Harden was able to erase Denver's lead with 14 points in the second quarter. In an otherwise subpar shooting night for Harden, he supplied eight assists and six rebounds to offset his poor evening beyond the arc.

Smothered by defense in loss Harden accumulated six points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 109-95 loss to the Kings.

Impact Harden can be easy to read due to his propensity to drive left with the ball, and the Kings didn't allow him to go that direction. They effectively stifled Harden at every turn, and although the Clippers had more success with Russell Westbrook, the backcourt was largely kept in check. The Clippers have the advantage of three consecutive home games coming up, and hopefully Harden will bounce back from his poor outing.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles from field Friday Harden contributed 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and four steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 100-97 victory over the Magic.

Impact Harden didn't have a good performance Friday, finishing with more field goal attempts than points scored, though his eight rebounds and four steals salvaged his fantasy stat line a bit. Harden also registered his lowest tally in the assists department since Feb. 22, when he dished out just two dimes in a loss to the Thunder. He's averaging 15.3 points, 9.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game since the beginning of March.
