James Harden (hamstring) doesn't receive punishment for Rockets-Clippers altercation
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden (hamstring) will not be suspended for his role in Monday's locker room altercation with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Harden and Chris Paul reportedly tried calming things down and will avoid any disciplinary action. Meanwhile, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green have both been suspended two games by the NBA for their role in the ordeal. Harden is expected to have a 24-25 minute limit in his return to the court on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
