Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard James Harden has suffered a right foot tendon strain and is expected to miss a month.
Testing on Thursday in Philadelphia revealed the injury, which Harden suffered in a 121-111 loss to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
Harden has averaged 22 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists in nine games for the Sixers, who are 4-5 to start the season.
Philadelphia’s superstar center Joel Embiid has missed three of the past four games, including Wednesday’s loss to Washington, which he sat out with a non-COVID-19 illness.
