We need to talk more about Deni Avdija’s defensive progress. He can understand the game way better on that end.
That crucial block on James Harden was a part of his development. He locked Harden down in this play!

Deni Avdija straps James Harden yet again in a key moment late in the fourth quarter. – 8:19 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
James Harden is gonna play through some type of lower leg issue here… I guess so he can maintain his nba minutes leader status. Seems prudent 🧐 pic.twitter.com/9mIxiucXVn8:08 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
James Harden was just shown limping to the locker room with staff. Uh oh. – 7:57 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Wizards 91, Sixers 90 after Shake Milton buries a 3 at the buzzer. Maxey with 27 points on 9-of-15 shooting. Harden with 18-8-5. House (12 and 4) and Niang (13 on 3-of-5 from deep) have provided a bench lift. Wizards have 50 points in the paint and shooting 54.8 percent. – 7:55 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
James Harden picked up that tech and he immediately went into aggressive mode. He drives to the rim and finishes while drawing a foul. #Sixers7:45 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Harden was irate — and got T’d up — after a foul wasn’t called on his last three-point attempt. He then barrels down the lane and converts the and-1 on the Sixers’ next possession. Wizards 84, Sixers 83 late in the third. – 7:45 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Wiz rattled off a quick 9 point run when the Sixers tried the Trez, Shake, Niang and 1 of Harden/Maxey all defense 🙃 lineup. Other than that predictably ruff-stretch, they hung tough. – 7:23 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Wizards 57, Sixers 51. Wizards scored 10 points off 6 Sixers turnovers, have a 24-2 edge in bench points and scored 34 points in the paint. Harden with 13 points and 5 boards. Maxey with 14. – 7:11 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Paul Reed checks in and:
– bats the ball out to Harden for a triple off of a miss
– walls off Beal at the rim and gets a stop
– rim-runs and gets a dunk in transition
5-point swing in like 30 seconds of game time. – 6:58 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly
Harden out there with Shake, Niang, Trez, and Shake. The Sixers vaunted defensive lineup plus House. – 6:36 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Really good help defense by Deni Avdija off of James Harden after Danuel House blew by Kristaps Porzingis. – 6:28 PM
Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#Sixers call after James Harden remained for the floor for a couple of minutes after a collision near the Sixers basket. He’s up now, trying to stretch out his left knee. – 6:19 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Do not know what the happened exactly, but James Harden appeared to hurt his left leg on a drive (maybe he banged knees?). Looks like he is staying in the game, but a bit of an awkward play and fall there. – 6:18 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
James Harden was on the floor in some pain, grabbing his left knee after that last possession. Couldn’t tell what happened from our angle here, might have banged it. Up and moving now around the bench – 6:17 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
James Harden is in some serious pain grabbing at his knee, but he’s up now and walking it off #Sixers6:17 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Harden is down on the baseline by the Sixers’ bench. Grabbing his knee in pain. – 6:16 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
James Harden, mid-range shooter. – 6:15 PM

More on this storyline

Whammy speaks fondly of Jarrett Allen, who was sent to Cleveland in the failed three-way trade that briefly brought James Harden to Brooklyn. Years ago, Whammy introduced himself to the young big man. “I said, ‘Do you have grandparents?’ He said, ‘No, but now I do,’” said Whammy, a regular attendee at Nets games since they were based in New Jersey in the 1990s. “Isn’t that beautiful?” Whammy said he taught Allen to shoot foul shots, and shaky free-throw shooter Nic Claxton will be his next project. Caris LeVert, also part of that trade with the Cavaliers, was a hugger. “I’m a little depressed that I don’t get the reaction from this team,” said Whammy, who was close enough with Jason Kidd that he attended his 2018 induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. “But in time they will.” -via New York Post / November 3, 2022
