Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is hopeful to play Game 5 against Milwaukee and will test his right hamstring prior to tip on Tuesday night, sources told ESPN.
Harden, pushing for a chance to play, participated in the Nets shootaround on Tuesday morning with improvement in his right hamstring and that prompted the team to upgrade his status from doubtful to questionable for Game 5 tonight, sources said.
The Nets are tied 2-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Bucks, and are preparing to be without guard Kyrie Irving (right ankle sprain) for the rest of the series, sources said.
