Brooklyn Nets' James Harden (hamstring) back in action for Game 5 vs. Milwaukee Bucks
NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star James Harden will play in Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The decision was made after he tested his hamstring in Barclays Center before tipoff on Tuesday night.
It will be the first time Harden has been available to play in a game since June 5, when he injured his right hamstring. Since then, he has been dealing with what the team has called hamstring tightness.
"I'm not sure the level of risk," Steve Nash said before the game. "I think it is James' decision. He wants to play. Ultimately, he wants to play. He's been pushing."
