Brooklyn Nets star James Harden will be out indefinitely after suffering a setback in his recovery from a thigh muscle injury on Monday, the team said on Tuesday.
Harden – who until recently rarely missed due to injury – has missed the past six games with a stiff muscle in his right leg due to an injury suffered during the Nets victory over his former Houston team on March 31 is.
Harden returned to court on April 5, but in the Nets victory over the Knicks, he lasted just four minutes and has been out ever since.
MRI scans showed a grade 1 thigh muscle injury, and Harden approached before the update Tuesday.
He just felt it. He did not, he did not fall or stumble or anything extraordinary. He just felt something of a tension in the ballpark, ‘said Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash. ‘So, just a setback and when the scan revealed that he had, he did have a setback. So not much more to it except just disappointment and that we need to rebuild and get going again. ”
The Nets could not guarantee that Harden would be back before the playoffs, which begin in the middle of next month. He has scored 25.4 points, 11 assists and 8.7 rebounds since the trade.
