According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is expected to remain with the team. Harden has a $36 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign, although it's realistic both sides will work on a new contact over the summer. The 35-year-old had only seven points in the series-clinching, Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. Still, he is coming off another quality year, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 1.5 steals in 79 games while being named an All-Star for the seventh time of his career. Without question, Harden should continue to receive attention from fantasy managers heading into next season, and he should remain a top fantasy option, regardless of how the Clippers do in the standings, assuming he stays in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden had only seven points in Saturday's postseason loss to Denver. However, he made up for it by amassing 13 assists, two steals, and one block. Although Los Angeles couldn't advance to the Western Conference semi-finals to face Oklahoma City, Harden can look back on another quality year, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 dimes, and 1.5 steals. He also appeared in 79 games and was named an All-Star for the seventh time of his career. The 35-year-old will next need to decide if he will exercise his $36 million player option heading into the 2025-26 campaign. But one thing is for sure, Harden should see plenty of interest from clubs around the National Basketball Association this summer if he doesn't. Either way, he is expected to remain a top fantasy option, although he may only have a few more productive years left in the tank.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) will play in Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP injured his right foot on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he has shaken off a questionable tag. Harden has been close to averaging a double-double in March, notching 26.2 points and 9.5 assists per game. He will continue to lead the offense against a Knicks team that is weakened in the backcourt due to injuries to Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin).

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the New York Knicks. He has appeared on the injury report due to a sore right foot sustained during Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If Harden is unable to play on Wednesday, it will mark only his fourth absence of the season. Derrick Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, or Ben Simmons may replace Harden in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard would take on larger roles offensively, with Kris Dunn assuming additional playmaking duties.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) will be able to return to the court after missing the front half of the team's back-to-back on Wednesday. Harden has averaged 21.3 points, 8.1 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game in 33.4 minutes per game this season while leading the team with a 30.9% usage rate. Harden gets a great matchup in his return as the Clippers welcome the Wizards, who have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season. Kevin Porter Jr. stepped up with 26 points against the Celtics on Wednesday, but he'll likely return to his role as Harden's backup since The Beard will be back for Thursday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden will now miss his third game of the season and the front end of this back-to-back set. Hopefully, Harden will be feeling good enough to suit up for Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The Clippers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. That means, Kevin Porter Jr., Bones Hyland, and Terance Mann should all see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the three, Porter is the best and most consistent streaming choice of them.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden was uncertain to play on Monday, but he suited up and played 35 minutes in the loss to the Chicago Bulls. He struggled as he only knocked down five shots from the floor, so possibly the groin injury was impacting his performance.

Out of everyone, Kevin Porter Jr. would likely gain the most streaming value if Harden is unavailable for Wednesday's contest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) will play on Monday night versus the Bulls. The multi-time All-Star was under the weather for Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. But that didn't stop him from finishing with 21 points, 12 assists, and one steal. Harden has had his best season in years, and he could be even more productive against the Bulls with Kawhi Leonard (illness) and Ivica Zubac (eye) sidelined.

Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports that despite dealing with right groin soreness, Los Angeles Clippers guardJames Harden(groin) is probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Harden played through an illness on Sunday but still managed to finish with 21 points, four rebounds, 12 assists, and one steal across 40 minutes. Fantasy managers, if the 35-year-old is available, expect him to be an excellent fantasy option, especially with Kawhi Leonard (knee) getting the night off to rest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (illness) will suit up versus the Lakers. The 35-year-old was questionable because of an illness. But he'll be out there, avoiding his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Harden only missed two games this season, so it seems unlikely that he'll sit out due to an illness. Although, the severity of the illness is unknown at the moment, so fantasy managers will have to check back for another update. Terance Mann could be asked to move into the starting five if Harden is unable to go. Also, Bones Hyland and Kevin Porter Jr. would likely be asked to play more on Sunday. None of them have really brought much to the table this season in terms of fantasy value.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but Harden will now miss his second game in a row. The absence of Harden should mean more minutes for Kevin Porter Jr., Bones Hyland, and Kris Dunn. Between the three, Porter is the best streaming option for Thursday's slate. Porter is coming off back-to-back duds, but before that he was playing fairly decent. He's worth a look as a streaming option with Harden unavailable on Thursday.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) was added to the Clippers' injury report on Thursday afternoon ahead of their showdown in Oklahoma City with the Thunder. Harden has been carrying the Clippers without Kawhi Leonard (knee) still sidelined and is averaging 21.9 points, 7.8 assists, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 33.9 minutes per game. Harden has a team-high 31.6% usage rate, so if he's ruled out there will be a dramatic impact on the Clippers' offense. With Harden off the floor, Norman Powell gets a boost in usage of over five percentage points while Ivica Zubac and Kevin Porter Jr. also take on a larger workload. Harden has missed just one game all season, and Porter started in his place, logging 37 minutes and scoring 19 points while Bones Hyland played 28 minutes off the bench and finished with 22 points and four assists.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (groin) will not play against Houston on Sunday. He's been ruled out for the game after Harden was initially handed a questionable tag.

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard James Harden said that he was "home" when asked about re-signing with the Clippers this season. "I don't plan on going anywhere else. I wanna leave a legacy," the 35-year-old stated. Harden signed a two-year, $70M contract this offseason that includes a player option for the 2025-2026 season. NBA fans may be a little skeptical about his intentions not to go anywhere else as he's been on the move quite often since his final days in Houston. However, Harden sounds happy where he's at on a roster that's been a perennial playoff contender since the 2011-2012 season. Harden saw a drop in production across the board in his first season in LA, averaging 16.6 PPG, 5.1 RPG and 8.5 APG. He will likely be asked to produce more with the departure of Paul George, meaning more opportunities from three. Harden averaged 6.8 three point attempts last season, mostly in line with his volume as a Net and a Sixer. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Harden in their upcoming drafts. With a current ADP of 21, Harden will be a very important piece to any fantasy roster.
