James Harden has missed Brooklyn's last 15 games due to a hamstring injury, but the Nets guard isn't worried about missing time during the postseason.
Harden said Thursday he is "very confident" he'll return to Brooklyn's lineup before the start of the postseason. The Nets have six regular-season games left in the 2021-22 season before the postseason begins on May 22.
The Nets acquired Harden in a trade with the Rockets on Jan 13. Harden continued his brilliance in Brooklyn after earning seven All-NBA honors in Houston, averaging 26.1 points and 11.2 assists per game in his first 33 contests with the Nets.
