The right hamstring injury that kept James Harden out for almost six weeks in April and May will keep him out of Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Brooklyn Nets point guard was forced out of Game 1, just 43 seconds into the contest, after re-aggravating the injury.
Harden was everything he needed to be in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, putting up 65.0 or more FanDuel Fantasy Points in three of the four opening-round games. The Nets didn’t provide an update on how long Haren is anticipated to be out, but, considering the chronic nature of the injury, we shouldn’t expect Harden back in the lineup any time soon.
