There was some concern surrounding James Harden after the Brooklyn Nets superstar appeared to have sustained a head injury in a collision with Garrison Mathews during Sunday's matchup against the Washington Wizards.
Harden took a hard hit to the head as Mathews dove for a loose ball, which resulted in the former MVP staying on the ground for a considerable amount of time (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

Harden was eventually able to get back on his feet, but he did look a bit dazed as he headed back to the locker room to get himself checked.
Fortunately, Harden was able to return to the game not long after, and unsurprisingly, he picked up just where he left off:

Harden isn't completely out of the woods just yet, though. The Nets will likely do additional tests on him after the game, and hopefully, the head collision doesn't result in any missed time for the Brooklyn superstar.
This is especially the case since Blake Griffin finally made his much-awaited debut for the Nets on Sunday against the Wizards. Kevin Durant appears to be close to coming back, and so long as Harden and Kyrie Irving remain healthy, Brooklyn's four-headed monster is going to be coming to life real soon.
