James Harden will make his LA Clippers debut Monday night at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks.
Ohm Youngmisuk has covered the Giants, Jets and the NFL since 2006. Prior to that, he covered the Nets, Knicks and the NBA for nearly a decade. He joined ESPNNewYork.com after working at the New York Daily News for almost 12 years and is a graduate of Michigan State University.Harden spoke to reporters before going through a practice on Sunday in New York and the point guard said he is good to go barring anything unforeseen happening.
That has given Harden four days to learn the Clippers offense and get in a lot of on-court work. He has played 5-on-5 pickup and participated in scrimmages Thursday and Friday.Head coach Ty Lue has remained coy about whom he will start but the expectation is that the Clippers will go with Harden alongside starters. Lue said the starters did not scrimmage with Harden last week but that he was going to see all four of his stars on the court together during Sunday's practice.
Lue said Harden looks in good shape but that the team will be cautious and monitor his workload against the Knicks.Lue said Harden's basketball knowledge has stood out during his first several days of practice with his new team. "Just picking up plays quickly," Lue said of Harden."Understanding what guy's going to be on the floor, how to make reads and passes in the pick-and-roll game. And so he's asked for a lot of film to try to get up to speed as fast as possible. And it's my job just to make sure he's comfortable tomorrow night, not thinking too much on the floor.""It feels good," Harden said of his body after these workouts.
