For the first time in nearly five weeks, James Harden will presumably suit up for the 12-11 Philadelphia 76ers when they face the 6-17 Houston Rockets on Monday. Multiple reports indicate the All-Star guard has been targeting this homecoming to return from a tendon strain in his right foot after missing the past 14 games.
He’s currently listed as questionable, as are Georges Niang (right foot soreness) and Jaden Springer (right quad strain). Tyrese Maxey remains out (left foot fracture). Jae’Sean Tate (right ankle soreness) is out for Houston.
The Rockets enter this matchup playing some better ball as of late, going 3-3 over their past six contests, including wins against the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns.
