James Harden is expected to make his season debut with the Houston Rockets in the game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Harden had to quarantine until Christmas Day and test negative for the coronavirus in order to be available for the match against the Blazers.
With Harden being cleared to play, the Rockets will have the league-required eight players available for the game. Six players have been out for Houston, due to the Health and Safety protocol of the NBA (positive coronavirus tests and contact tracing).
