76ers guard James Harden 'on pace' to return in a few weeks
76ers guard James Harden is expected to return in a couple of weeks. He sustained a tendon strain in his right foot in the team's 121-111 loss to the Washington Wizards on Nov. 2. The 10-time All-Star is no longer wearing the boot and has been training on the anti-gravity treadmill.
The 76ers are on a three-game losing streak. They are 29th in scoring and 18th overall. Their offensive efficiency rating also ranks 18st overall (1.085). They have a better defensive efficiency than the Dallas Mavericks and Milwaukee Bucks. If James Harden can play as well on defense as he has for mid-range jumpers, the 76er's offense could improve.
