Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden suffered a tendon sprain in his right foot on Wednesday night and is expected to miss the next month of the NBA season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday.
Harden played 35 minutes of Wednesday's 121-111 loss to the Washington Wizards, which dropped the Sixers' record to 4-5. The 33-year-old limped to the locker room with 2:28 remaining in the third quarter, carrying his right shoe. Harden returned in the fourth quarter to play the game's final seven-plus minutes.
After the game, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers told reporters he was unsure what happened to Harden.
