Absent from the field since early November, James Harden continues to take his troubles patiently while the Sixers advance without him. But we should soon see the Bearded once more on the pitch if we are to believe the latest news. Maybe even this week.
This Wednesday, Philadelphia begins a three-game road trip, a road trip that will take the Sixers from Cleveland to Houston (next Monday) via Memphis (this Friday). And with any luck, if we are to believe Tim Bontemps ofESPNwe will see James Harden with a basketball in his hands in one of these three games.
James Harden might return in the ‘next couple of weeks’ per @TimBontemps

This is bound to be good news for a Sixers team that recently had to manage without Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, all stranded in the infirmary box. Philadelphia did more than limit the damage without its star trio (3 wins – 1 loss) and with the recent return of Jojo, there is reason for optimism in the city of brotherly love.
To return to Harden, we recall that his last match dates back to November 2 once morest Washington. He had suffered an injury to his right foot which was to hold him away for a good month. We are almost there, and the rehabilitation of the Barbu therefore seems to have taken place normally. What we now hope is that he finds his offensive rhythm as quickly as possible, he who released a generally solid start to the season (22 points, 10 assists on average at 44% in shooting) compared to his last season’s level.
If this is the case and while waiting for the return of Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers of Embiid might well increase in power, those who currently display a record of 12 wins – 9 losses (5th in the Eastern Conference) and who will have following their road trip no less than seven consecutive games at home until Christmas.
