James Harden has been ruled out of Saturday's contest between the Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat due to left hamstring injury recovery, the team announced.
This comes as Philadelphia is on the second night of a back-to-back after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The team says him being ruled out is part of his scheduled management program.
The 76ers are 4-0 with Harden in the lineup, the superstar has averaged 26.8 points, 12.0 assists and 7.5 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game during that span.
Harden has been dealing with a left hamstring issue since early last month, when he was a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
