Set to make Sixers debut Friday Harden (hamstring) will make his 76ers debut Friday against the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Impact Harden entered the All-Star break still battling the hamstring issue that sidelined him for the final few games of his Nets tenure, and initially there was some belief that he could miss additional time coming out of the break. However, earlier this week Harden clarified that he expected to be a "full go" for the Sixers, and the team has now officially ruled him in for Friday's contest. Harden has only appeared in two games over the past calendar month, so it's possible he could have a soft minutes limit initially, but once he's fully up to speed he'll function as a high-minute, high-usage co-star next to MVP frontrunner Joel Embiid.
