The Rockets are about to face a serious test in the coming weeks. News today came out that superstar guard James Harden suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain during yesterdays game against the Lakers. He’ll miss two weeks of action, and then will be re-evaluated by the team to see if he’s ready to return.
There’s no guarantee that two weeks will be enough time for Harden to fully heal.
According to the Houston Chronicle, “The Rockets have gone 13-0 with the starting lineup available, but when Harden sits out – starting Wednesday in Orlando – P.J. Tucker will be the only player to have played in every game.”
