Nick Nurse stated that he didn’t know whether James Harden would play in the Philadelphia 76ers’ preseason opener on Sunday.
“I do not know. I think that we still got a number of people that we’re trying to kind of ramp up to get to Sunday, so I don’t know how that’ll go yet,” said Nurse on Friday.
Harden participated fully in Friday’s practice, though there are still concerns whether he intends to rejoin the team “in earnest.“
Harden still has yet to speak to reporters since returning to the Sixers.
Nurse admitted that he was still tinkering with lineups.
“I’ll probably push some lineups and rotations around a little bit on the flight here this afternoon. I think all that stuff’s just a little bit fluid. Again, see how everybody comes out of [practice] tomorrow.”
