PHILADELPHIA (Audacy) — James Harden will be out through the NBA All-Star break, the Philadelphia 76ers announced on Monday afternoon.
Philadelphia acquired Harden on Thursday along with Paul Millsap for Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks. Harden has missed the last few games with a hamstring injury.
Harden worked out as a Sixer for the first time on Monday.
Philadelphia has been hot, winning seven of their last 10 behind MVP frontrunner and NBA leading scorer (29.5 PPG) Joel Embiid. The Sixers are 34-22, 2.0 games ahead of the Celtics, who they'll face on Tuesday.
Harden, 32, is a 10-time All-Star, six-time All-NBA first-teamer, three-time scoring champ, and 2018 Most Valuable Player.
