NBA Injury News

James Harden is questionable to play Thursday night on the second game of a back-to-back set in Brooklyn after leaving last night’s game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. Harden has been the most durable of the Brooklyn’s trio of stars, missing just two games for the Nets this season. When asked about the injury, head coach Steve Nash said “We’re gonna monitor it. I don’t have a lot to tell you. We feel confident it’s not a long-term thing.”

The New Orleans Pelicans could be playing without two of their starters against the Orlando Magic Thursday with Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson both listed as questionable. Williamson suffered his thumb injury Monday against the Boston Celtics and Ball has now missed the Pelicans’ past five games with a lingering hip injury.

The Philadelphia 76ers should expect some reinforcements on the horizon soon. Center Joel Embiid remains sidelined on Thursday but is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Embiid has been sidelined for several weeks due to a left knee bone bruise, and there is no word on if he’ll have a minutes limit upon his return.
