Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden has somewhat progressed on his rehab after being able to shoot and build up his current capacity. Harden also traveled with the team to Tampa Bay, where they face the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
Steve Nash says James Harden is traveling with the team, was shooting this morning and "just started to build up what his capacity is."
Nash says there is no high-intensity training yet for Harden.

However, Nets head coach Steve Nash also said that Harden has yet to do high-intensity training. The Beard has been ruled out indefinitely, though he is expected to make his return come playoff time.
Luckily for the Nets, they have enough talent to dominate the rest of the regular season as they currently sit on the top spot of the Eastern Conference standings.
Despite continuing to win, one major downside for the Nets is that their superstars in James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have only played together for less than 10 games. It also doesn’t help Brooklyn that Durant, one of the best players in the league today, has been in and out of the lineup.
Irving, who has carried the team throughout their injuries woes, is also not the most durable player but has certainly remained relatively healthy all season.
Before suffering a hamstring injury and the rehab setback, Harden was averaging 25.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 10.9 assists. He was also a candidate to win this year’s Most Valuable Player of the year, but that seems moot now given how many games he has missed with the Nets.
However, Harden’s goal of winning the championship is still very much alive, especially since he’s in a team with the most offensive talent in the league.
