There are some tough calls on East A-S reserves. I’d say LaVine, Tatum, Harden are in for sure. Butler, Jaylen Brown, Garland, Middleton, VanVleet or Siakam, LaMelo or Bridges all have strong cases. #NBA – 6:39 PM

More on this storyline

James Harden might be back on the court, but he’s not back to 100 percent. And he may not be for a while. Though Harden returned from a hand strain Tuesday at Phoenix, it’s a problem he admits he’s going to have to manage for some time until it fully heals. “I couldn’t move my hand [Saturday]. That’s why I didn’t play my last game. [Couldn’t move it] at all,” Harden said. “I can move it, and I can play.” -via New York Post / February 3, 2022

“The next morning, I woke up and probably couldn’t move my hand at all. It actually woke up pretty early. So I was just calling the trainer, my trainer, just to figure out what the hell was going on. The MRI was a strain. It’s calmed down. I’m back on the court. Just got to keep going.” After shooting just 6 of 19 in his return, Harden acknowledged his hand injury will take some managing. “Just continue to get treatment, continue to keep the swelling down and ice it and listen to my trainers because they’re professionals,” Harden said. -via New York Post / February 3, 2022

After missing two straight games because of a hamstring injury and a right hand strain, Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden scored 22 points in 37 minutes during a 121-111 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. Harden admitted after the game that he is still dealing with some pain in the hand but thinks he’ll be able to play Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings. “I couldn’t move my hand, that’s why I didn’t play the last game,” Harden said. “At all. But I can move it, I’m playing.” -via ESPN / February 2, 2022
