James Harden to miss at least 10 days for Brooklyn Nets; Kevin Durant likely to return Wednesday

NEW YORK -- Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden will miss at least 10 days with a right hamstring strain, but teammate Kevin Durant is probable to return Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, the team announced Tuesday.

Harden played just four minutes before he was ruled out of Monday's 114-112 win over New York. He had missed the two previous games.

One of the front-runners for league MVP, Harden is averaging 25.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 10.9 assists for the Nets.

Durant, meanwhile, has missed the past 23 games after suffering a right hamstring strain on Feb.
