Cavaliers’ Harden questionable with fracture in right thumb


Cleveland star James Harden sustained a non-displaced fracture of his right thumb during Tuesday night’s win over the New York Knicks, the Cavaliers announced Wednesday.

X-rays Wednesday revealed the injury, leading to Harden’s questionable status ahead of Wednesday night’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Harden, who plans to play through the injury, has been evaluated by a hand specialist and will not require surgery, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania. He will undergo treatment and further evaluation, according to the team.

Harden was traded from the LA Clippers to the Cavaliers on Feb. 3. In seven games with Cleveland, the 17-year veteran is averaging 18.9 points, eight assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. Prior to the trade, he averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 44 appearances with the Clippers this season.

Cleveland (37-22) has won eight of its last nine games and is tied for third place in the Eastern Conference.
