Woj: 76ers' James Harden to Miss a Month with Foot Injury Diagnosed as Tendon Strain

James Harden is going to be out for a month with a foot injury.

Harden appeared to have an injury in Wednesday's game.

The Brooklyn Nets traded Harden and Millsap to the 76ers at the season trade deadline in exchange for Ben Simmons and two first-round picks. In Philadelphia, he made an immediate impact.

In 21 games with the 76ers last season, the three-time scoring champion averaged 21.0 points, 7.1 rebound and 10 assists while shooting 40.2 percent from the floor and 38.6 percent from deep.

Harden has elevated the play of the teammates around him, including Tyrese Maxey, who was already having a good season before Harden arrived.

Maxey will be in charge of the backcourt playmaking when Harden is out.

The team has a 4-5 record and is in the 8th spot in the conference. Losing Harden for a month is a huge blow, especially after he came into the season in good shape and was playing at a high level.
