Daily News | All-Star nod or not, James Harden has been elite for the Sixers this season
at the Wells Fargo Center. And he was spectacular from the start.
The 33-year-old finished with 19 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds, marking his NBA-best sixth point-assist double-double in February. Harden is averaging 22.0 points, 10.1 assists, and 5.5 rebounds this month. No other Eastern Conference player has such numbers.But as the Sixers closed their pre-All-Star break portion of the season, Harden had a luggage bag packed and hurried out of the locker room.
“Continue to lift and work on my game and get in … better shape and do the things that’s necessary,” Harden said of how he intends to spend the All-Star break. “It’s going to be good. At this point, everybody is a little banged up. So it will be good for my body.”Harden is already playing with a burst that wasn’t present at the start of the season. He’s been able to beat solid defenders off the dribble.
The time away could have contributed to Harden being omitted from the All-Star team for the first time in 11 seasons.
