Practicing, but out through break Harden (hamstring), who will be sidelined for the 76ers' games Tuesday against the Celtics and Thursday against the Bucks, was a full participant in Monday's practice, Kyle Neubeck...

Impact Before he was acquired from Brooklyn on Thursday in a blockbuster deal, Harden had missed the Nets' most recent three games with left hamstring tightness. Though he has yet to get the green light to debut for his new team, Harden looks to be just about fully recovered from the injury, with Rivers noting that the 10-time All-Star took part in shooting drills in addition to the full team workout with the rest of the 76ers' healthy players. Perhaps due to the multiple hamstring injuries Harden has endured the last two seasons, the 76ers are taking a cautious approach with him. He'll remain sidelined through the 76ers' final two games of the first half before sitting out Sunday's All-Star Game, but barring any setbacks in training over the next several days, Harden looks like he'll be ready to make his Philadelphia debut Feb. 25 in Minnesota.

Out through All-Star break Harden (hamstring) will not make his 76ers debut until after the All-Star break, and he'll also sit out Sunday's All-Star Game in Cleveland, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.

Impact Prior to the trade deadline, there was some speculation as to whether Harden's hamstring injury -- which has kept him out since Feb. 2 -- was truly legitimate, but it certainly appears to be, as he'll miss the Sixers' final two games before All-Star break, as well as the All-Star Game itself. The hope is that the week-long break will enable Harden to fully recover and make his Philly debut before the end of the month. The Sixers' first game after the break arrives Friday, Feb. 25 at Minnesota. Until further notice, that should be considered Harden's target return date.
