He ended up with 42 points even after getting hurt and if his shoulder wasn't in pain, he might have hit a step back 3 or even two of them to close the game. He is no longer refusing to play.
If Harden was on the Warriors he'd be out 3 weeks just to rehab that shoulder but since if he doesn't play for us, we'll turn into a lottery team, Harden has to man up and play injured. I wouldn't blame Harden at all if he ends up like AD, wanting out because Morey just can't get him over the hump.
Hopefully he spent the day getting treatment and feels better for Monday nights game and can rest the whole all star break
I am sure Harden appreciates Shump but he has had two years of Morey telling him PG13, Butler, etc. I fear there will be a price to pay now that apparently every team can get that guy but we can't. Sometimes, winning on a trade isn't the same as winning the trade. Great is the enemy of good and we kept waiting for cheaper deals while carrying an anchor. I fear we squandered two years of greatness because of someone's ego.
