Harden was definitely being cautious with the right wrist the rest of the game. Its probably one of those lingering injuries that only will improve with rest unfortunately.
Xray looks ok, so he plays? Basically the only thing that can prevent Harden from playing is a f***ing fracture. I love his dedication, but if your wrist isn't 100%, take a few games off.
I can agree with this, but by Harden's own admission, time off actually makes him play worse as he loses his rhythm. Makes sense too as he is typically a monster on B2B games.
An x-ray can't reveal damage to tendons or ligaments. An MRI would be a safer test at this juncture. Sitting Harden out for a couple of games would reduce inflammation if the injury is not serious.
Their has been nothing about him getting an MRI they must not be concerned about the tendons or ligaments
Tmac would’ve given up and taken the season to recover if he went through what harden has with the team this year. He would’ve cheered for his teammates to lose so he looks more valuable. Dude is talented but got a weak loser mentality
I will but only because Harden is obviously inhuman and secretly a member of the Avengers. I hear he will be the key to defeating Thanos.
Sit him out Sunday for at least a game. My son just had a fracture on the wrist. 4 weeks cannot use his hand.
My guess is if this was his left hand, they would sit him out for a couple of games. Too much at stake to risk at. They let him play through the injuries partially also because he wants it. He knows we have the momentum as a team, and this is a good opportunity to recover ground (or taking lead, whatever) for his MVP race.
good thing your son isn't a starting guard on the Rockets just kidding, just kidding. that sucks for your son I'm sure. hoping he has a quick and thorough recovery!!
he's right, plain films are pretty poor diagnostic tools and only tell you about fractures. I doubt the rockets are letting their best player play without clearing him properly though.
