James Harden is officially listed as questionable for the Philadelphia 76ers get set to take on the Chicago Bulls with an ankle injury.
Harden shot 2-for-14, and 0-for-6 from 3, finishing with just five points and 12 assists in 47 minutes, but suffered some sort of discomfort during the home game against the Bulls. He was noticeably grimacing down the stretch of regulation and overtime. He somehow finished the game.
PJ Tucker also appears on the injury report with ankle soreness.
Foot and Ankle injuries are always tricky, especially when they aren’t the direct result of some form of trauma. Harden and Tucker’s age and mileage make it imperative that the Sixers’ are as cautious as possible to make sure they’re good when the Second Season starts.
The Sixers’ are fighting for a possible 1-seed in the playoffs, but have a much better chance of catching the Boston Celtics for the 2 seed. They currently sit 3 games out of 1st, and 2.5 games out of the 2nd seed, and play both teams one more time before the season ends.

With the playoffs around the corner, getting Harden and Tucker as healthy as possible is very significant to the Sixers’ chances at a deep run.
