The Brooklyn Nets experience has been a straight tease so far this season. But with the latest news on James Harden's injury progress, we might get a taste right before the NBA playoffs begin.
Based on a report from ESPN's Malika Andrews, the return of the Nets star looms large. Harden could return as early as Wednesday against the Spurs, assuming everything goes according to plan.
After missing five weeks with a hamstring injury, Nets star James Harden's return is expected to be a game-time decision before Brooklyn faces San Antonio on Wednesday night, sources told ESPN.
Harden is expected to gauge his readiness along with team officials ahead of the Nets' return to Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Wednesday, sources said.
With their big three of James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving playing in just seven games together, the Nets are sorely lacking in chemistry with the final iteration of their roster complete.
But even with The Beard on the verge of a return, it looks like it's Kyrie Irving who could potentially miss some action. The Nets guard took a vicious elbow from Chicago Bulls big man Nikola Vucevic. Irving remained on the floor for several minutes and was seen banging the ground in a show of pain. He was unable to re-enter the contest.

When one star gets healthy, another gets hurt for the Nets. Although they clearly have championship aspirations this season, the availability of their big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving could be the only thing standing in their way.
