He took a pretty good shot from Ellis. Looked more like a bruise than anything. Seems like maybe it just got hit at the end of the game?
Okay, time for Dwight to come back and give Harden some rest days. Couple EASIER team (don't mean nothing).. but shouldn't have Harden playing long mins.
banged up and sore. he needs to rest it. his schedule should be: 29th: rest, treatment, sit out during practice except for shooting drills. 30th: beat the Cs 31st: beat the pistons 1st: rest, treatment 2nd:rest, treatment 3rd: rest, treatment, shooting drills (4 games in 5 nights starts the next day, then all star break for more rest!) tl:dr he'll be fine, plenty of chance to rest coming up.
It looked like Harden's knee was pretty straight when it hit. Tears usually happen when the knee at an angle that causes the lower leg to twist in an awkward position. Usually....
Please be okay! I have tickets for the game at Boston Friday. 3 rows behind Rockets bench! It will be my first ever NBA game and obviously I want to see Harden light up the Celtics!
