James Harden Out At Least Two Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Tue Jan 2, 2018 3:59 pm

James Harden will be out for at least two weeks with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

A Grade 2 hamstring strain involves a partial tear of the hamstring belly that typically requires anywhere from 2-3 weeks for a minor tear to 4-6 weeks for a more severe injury.

Harden felt a "pull" in the muscle on a drive in the final minute of the fourth quarter against the Lakers on Sunday.

Harden has been one of the NBA's most durable stars in the regular season throughout his career.

Gosh, they'd have to be careful not to have him fatigued

Tough choices

He's only 32 and his injuries aren't age related. I don't think fatigue is the issue.

CP3 is injured mostly due to his play style.
Aggressive first step and step backs.

Curry is just hiding behind the 3pt line like B (had to throw that out there)

Well, I can only suppose that since he's injured very often in the playoffs it's cuz of fatigue/wear and tear after playing in so many games in the season. Otherwise, what could it be? Stress? Intensity? Pressure?

Reps? I don't think he gets injured doing that a few times?

Interesting that he was often injured when he was younger and less so later on but is even more effective.

Sure, but he doesn't wait until the end of the season to get hurt. He went out in game 1. Then he came back fresh and was out again 12 games later. I'm not convinced fatigue is a factor.

Well, I guess he's injury prone, and would be even more injury prone if fatigued?
