After stepping on Golden State's David Lee's foot last night, Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (ankle) left the game but later returned.
Harden finished the game with 27 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals. In six games this month, one of which includes a triple-double, Harden is averaging 27.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game.
Per Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, "Harden will miss Wednesday's game at Clippers with ankle injury but will be ready for Sunday's All-Star Game."
That said, Harden has not yet ruled himself out for Wednesday night's matchup against the Clippers, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
“I’m tough enough,” Harden said. “My main focus is on tomorrow, getting
the right treatment, icing as much as possible, try to get my ankle
ready and my knee ready. My whole body hurts.”
Houston is hosting this weekend's All-Star game and activities. After tonight's game against the Clippers, the Rockets won't play a regular-season game again until February 20th when they host Harden's former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder.
