The Houston Rockets are optimistic that star guard James Harden will not have any more problems with his vision in the Western Conference semifinals, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Harden suffered contusions in both eyes and a laceration on the inside of his left eyelid when he was inadvertently hit in the face by Golden State's Draymond Green a little more than five minutes into the Rockets' Game 2 loss on Tuesday.
Harden said he could "barely see" after returning to the game in the second quarter. He frequently squinted and shielded his eyes from the light for the remainder of the game and his postgame news conference.
