Saturday's NBA Injury News
James Harden is trending towards making his debut with the Brooklyn Nets just days after the blockbuster four-team trade landed him with his former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate. Harden is listed as questionable and should play as long as all the players in the four-team trade pass their physicals.
Gordon Hayward is questionable to suit up for the Charlotte Hornets in their road matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Hayward missed the Hornets' previous game with a strained hip.
The Miami Heat have a laundry list of players who are either sitting or on the fence due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, including their two stars Jimmy Butler (out) and Bam Adebayo (questionable). Tyler Herro is questionable as well after missing the fourth quarter of the Heat's last game with back spasms.
