Should be fine after All-Star break Harden said Tuesday that he's in the process of strengthening his left hamstring, and he expects to be a "full go" coming out of the All-Star break, Austin Krell of USA Today repor... Impact Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers already confirmed Monday that the 10-time All-Star would remain sidelined for the 76ers' final two games of the first half, and Harden's own comments a day later support the notion that he's not dealing with a long-term issue and is simply being cautious, likely in acknowledgment of the persistent hamstring injuries that hampered him late in 2020-21. While Harden noted that he still needs to get back to full speed in 5-on-5 workouts, he said that he feels great from a conditioning standpoint despite having not played in a game in two weeks. With Harden out Tuesday against the Celtics and Thursday in Milwaukee, Tyrese Maxey will continue to operate as the primary facilitator and scorer out of the backcourt, while the likes of Furkan Korkmaz and Shake Milton take on increased roles at either guard spot.
