James Harden is here. But he and the 76ers will wait a little longer for his much-anticipated on-court debut.
Harden, the 10-time All-Star and former MVP who was acquired as part of last week’s blockbuster trade that also sent Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets, practiced with his new team for the first time Monday afternoon in Camden.
But the team said Harden will be out through the All-Star break, including Sunday’s All-Star Game in Cleveland, while continuing to nurse a hamstring injury that kept him out of his final six games with the Nets before the trade.
