Brooklyn Nets Concerned About James Harden's Setback

The Brooklyn Nets just want to get everyone healthy so they can see all of their talent on the floor together, but it appears that won't be happening anytime soon. Superstar James Harden has suffered a setback with his hamstring injury and now is going to miss more time.

The Nets have ruled Harden out indefinitely after the latest setback, which took place when Harden was participating in an on-court session. The star guard was initially injured back on March 31st against his former club the Houston Rockets and only missed a couple of games. Unfortunately Harden returned to the lineup on April 5th, only to leave in the first quarter against the New York Knicks.

In 34 games with the Nets, Harden is averaging 25.4 points, 11.0 assists and 8.7 rebounds, finding himself in the MVP conversation. These injuries are not going to help his case and now don't expect to see the self-proclaimed MVP named after this season.

The playoffs are just around the corner and the Nets big-three has only played seven games together. Throw in Blake Griffin and it's going to be find some chemistry on the fly for this basketball team. While the offense won't be an issue, the team needs to work on their defensive schemes to get these into tip-top shape for playoff time.

The Nets MVP down the stretch and into the playoffs may end up being head coach Steve Nash. Let's see if the rookie coach can get everyone on the same page at the perfect time. For now, he'll have to carry on without his best all-around player.
