James Harden's "doubtful" availability in regular season game against the Milwaukee Bucks
As Harden has continuously missed practice sessions and even the Sixers' final preseason game, his availability in the team's season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks is up in the air, as per CBS Sports' Jack Maloney.
The original reports of Harden spending time away from Philadelphia were originally released by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey.
The 76ers are scheduled to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, Oct. 26 at the Fiserv Forum. With a promising match-up against Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Sixers could end up heading in without their All-Star guard.
Be that as it may, 76ers coach Nick Nurse talked about the preparation he made for situations such as this.
"I think I've been preparing for it all this week, for sure," Nurse said. "Lots of thought has gone into him not playing and preparing the team that way this summer. I keep saying, there is another plan if something changes. I don't think it's affected us very much at all."
Despite the promising preparedness of Nurse, it still puts into question the tenure of James Harden in Philadelphia following his complicated relationship with Daryl Morey, the Sixers' President of Basketball Operations.
