Brooklyn Nets fans were understandably worried after star guard James Harden endured a scary neck injury on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. After the game, Harden assured their supporters that he'll be okay after the incident.
Per Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Harden shared some details on the injury. He revealed his plan to get some work done on it before saying he'll be up and about in the Nets' next game.
“I got hit in the jaw. My neck kind of twitched. I’ll be all right. It’s nothing,” James Harden noted. “Get some treatment on it, get some rest and be ready to go the next game.”

Harden has been nothing but stellar since joining the Nets. Brooklyn might suffer a rough tumble in the Eastern Conference standings if ever the former league MVP were to miss some games. Good thing that Harden is built like a tank and his desire to help his team knows no bounds.
The Nets will face up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
