James Harden (hamstring) will play for Nets in Game 5
Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden will play Tuesday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to multiple reports.
Harden hasn't appeared since the first minute of the series, when he suffered a hamstring injury and left Game 1. He missed Games 2, 3 and 4 with right hamstring tightness.
The nine-time All-Star returns just as another member of Brooklyn's trio of stars, guard Kyrie Irving, will miss Game 5 with an ankle sprain.
The Nets upgraded Harden to doubtful, then from doubtful to questionable, between Games 4 and 5.
The Nets and Bucks are tied two games apiece entering Tuesday's game in Brooklyn.
