Brooklyn Nets' James Harden ruled out of Game 2 with hamstring tightness

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets star guard James Harden is out for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday with what the team is calling "right hamstring tightness."

The Nets currently lead the series 1-0 despite Harden playing less than one minute in the semifinals series opener between the Nets and Bucks on Saturday night.

The play that Harden appeared to injure himself on was fairly unremarkable -- a simple drive against Bucks guard Jrue Holiday. But when he lobbed a pass, Harden landed and came away from the play grabbing his right hamstring.
