James Harden has been ruled out for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday (PH time) after he fractured his right thumb.
The 17-year veteran suffered the injury during the Cavaliers’ 109-94 win over the New York Knicks last Wednesday, with X-rays showing a non-displaced fracture of the distal phalanx.
Harden was traded by the Los Angeles Clippers to Cleveland last February 4, and is averaging 18.9 points, 8.0 assists, and 4.6 rebounds in his seven games with the Cavs.
