Not expected to play this weekend Harden (hamstring) isn't expected to play Friday against the Thunder or Saturday against the Cavaliers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Impact Harden, who has missed three consecutive games due to a hamstring injury, was traded by the Nets to the 76ers in a blockbuster deal Thursday for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two future first-round picks. However, the All-Star guard isn't expected to make his Philadelphia debut this weekend and will instead be checked out by the 76ers' medical staff. After this weekend, Philadelphia only has two games remaining before the All-Star break -- Tuesday against Boston and Thursday against Milwaukee. However, it remains to be seen if he'll have a chance to gain clearance for either of those contests.
