James Harden has been quarantining away from the Houston Rockets, but he is set to make his season debut with the Rockets on Saturday. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Harden is available for Saturday's contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers.

Ahead of their first game of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Rockets were experiencing a couple of COVID-19 issues. Besides having a couple of players who were considered close-contacts to a player who tested positive, Harden was forced to quarantine as well.

Harden has been creating turmoil within Houston's organization amid his trade request. The All-Star shooting guard has been seen at multiple strip clubs and parties instead of being with the Rockets.

Most recently, he was revealed in a video to be at a strip club, which violates the NBA's health and safety protocols amid the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of him violating the league's protocols, Harden was fined $50,000 and was forced to quarantine through Friday.

Due to their other issues with COVID-19, the Rockets had their first game against the Thunder was postponed. While John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Eric Gordon will have to quarantine for seven days, Harden will be back for Houston on Saturday.

Seeing that the Rockets are going to be shorthanded, Harden will likely have a massive workload against the Trail Blazers in his season debut. Luckily for Houston, Harden is accustomed to having the ball in his hands, boasting a 36 percent or better usage percentage in the past three seasons.
