Rockets James Harden could “barely see” after getting poked in eye

Thank goodness the Rockets get a full three days off before stepping on the court at Toyota Center to take on the Warriors.

Game 2 was rough for the Rockets, as James Harden went down after getting poked in the eye with 6:26 left in the first quarter and didn’t return until the 7:09 mark in the second quarter. It became clear that Harden’s injury was at least somewhat serious when the commercial break ended after the first period and The Beard was no where to be found on Houston’s bench.

As Draymond Green and James Harden fought for possession of the ball, Green’s left hand missed the orange and struck Harden across both eyes.
