Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden has suffered a fracture in his right thumb, the team confirmed after their recent 109–94 victory over the New York Knicks. X-rays revealed a non-displaced break in the distal phalanx (the tip of the thumb), and Harden is listed as questionable for Cleveland’s upcoming game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The injury occurred during Tuesday’s win, and Harden was examined by the Cavs’ medical staff before imaging confirmed the fracture. Since being traded from the LA Clippers on February 4, he has been a significant contributor, averaging 18.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8.0 assists in seven games with Cleveland.
The team now faces uncertainty with Harden’s availability, especially as they prepare for a crucial stretch of the season. His participation remains dependent on treatment and further evaluation.
