Cleveland Cavaliers’ James Harden suffers non-displaced thumb fracture

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his right thumb.

The 10-time NBA All-Star sustained the injury during Tuesday’s encounter with the New York Knicks.

X-rays taken the following morning confirmed the damage to the veteran’s hand.

Despite the diagnosis, the Cavaliers have listed him as questionable for their immediate fixture against the Milwaukee Bucks.

He is set to undergo further treatment and evaluation before the team makes a definitive decision on his long-term availability.

Impact since trade deadline move

The former MVP arrived in Ohio from the Los Angeles Clippers via a trade on 3 February.

Since making the switch to the Eastern Conference, he has averaged 18.9 points, eight rebounds and 4.6 assists across seven appearances.

Prior to his departure from Los Angeles, the 35-year-old was recording 25.1 points and 8.1 rebounds in 44 games this season.
