James Harden to Play Game 5 With a Bruised Left Hand

The bruise on James Harden’s left hand won’t keep him out of tonight’s pivotal Game 5, but it will be something to keep an eye on. From the AP: ” Oklahoma City reserve James Harden has a bruised left hand but is expected to play Thursday in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Harden was hurt during the Thunder’s 104-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday. A Thunder spokesman says Harden took part in some of Wednesday’s practice, but also iced his hand and sat out a portion.”
