Houston Rockets guard James Harden will play in Saturday's game against the Portland Trailblazers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Harden traveled to Portland and was cleared to play after completing the four-day quarantine on Friday, per Wojnarowski.
Houston's season opener was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the team. Three players tested positive, with four others quarantined due to contact tracing. Harden was unavailable due to violation of health and safety protocols, and was later fined $50,000.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, a separate positive test from a Rockets staffer triggered additional contact tracing.
