Harden last played on April 5 against the New York Knicks. Just last week, Harden said that he was “very confident” that he would return before the playoffs began.
So far this season, the 31-year-old has averaged 25.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 10.9 assists per game. He started the season off with the Houston Rockets before being traded to the Nets.
The Nets are currently second in the Eastern Conference with a 45-24 record. They are two games behind the Philadelphia 76ers.
After Wednesday’s game, the Nets have two more games left in the regular season. They will host the Chicago Bulls on Saturday before going on the road to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
