Harden, who missed the Heat due to hamstring recovery management, was not included in the next injury list against the Bulls, meaning he could return to the court. Harden previously played four games for the 76ers, and the 76ers won all four games. At 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 8, the 76ers played at home against the Bulls, and Harden's comeback is expected to impact the five major milestones!
First, Harden's regular-season career three-point shooting has reached 2559, and as long as he shoots two more three-pointers, he can surpass Miller (2560) and occupy the third place in history. By then, in front of him, there will only be Curry (3101) and Ray Allen (2973). Harden has played in 48 games this season, hitting at least two three-pointers in 34 of them, and his chances of overtaking Miller against the Bulls are still great.
Second, Harden's regular season career total is expected to surpass many of the top stars. At present, Harden's regular season career total of 23142 points, ranking 32nd in history, as long as he scores another 8 points, he can surpass Lakers star Elgin Baylor (23149 points). If he scores 24 points against the Bulls, he can surpass "The Flash" Wade (23165 points), and if Harden scores 36 points, he can surpass former NBA star Dantley (23177 points).
Third, Harden's regular season career free throw shooting has reached 6915, ranking 10th in history, and he can surpass Pierce and occupy 9th in history as long as he scores 4 goals against the Bulls. Harden joined the 76ers, averaging 9.3 goals per game, and it shouldn't be difficult to beat Pierce against the Bulls.
Fourth, Harden's regular-season career assists have reached 6225, temporarily ranking 34th in history, and as long as he delivers 14 assists, he can surpass Lakers star Jerry West (6238). Harden has had at least 14 assists in seven games this season, and he has a chance to complete that one.
Fifth, Harden's career turnovers have reached 3478, tied with Nash for 14th place in history. If Harden makes another mistake in the game against the Bulls, he will surpass Nash and occupy 14th place.
Of course, Harden's main goal is to continue to help the 76ers win. Previously, due to his injury management, the 76ers failed to win the Heat, after Harden's return, can his all-win performance for the 76ers continue? Let's wait and see.
