NBA: James Harden is missing the Houston Rockets at least two weeks

The Houston Rockets must give up superstar James Harden for at least two weeks. The shooting guard has injured his thigh and will miss the thrill against the Golden State Warriors.

This was announced by the team. Harden was injured in a fourth-quarter drive on New Year’s Eve against the Los Angeles Lakers when Houston won after twice the extra time.

Harden has only missed two games since the start of the 2014/15 season and has always played at least 73 games throughout his entire career. Alongside Harden, the rockets lacked Chris Paul (adductor distortion and Clint Capela (facial fracture). The Rockets ended a five-game defeat run against the Lakers.

Harden has so far played a season at MVP level. The beard hung up 32.1 points and 9.1 assists on average. This makes him the best scorer and third best leader of the season.
