Coach Tyronn Lue said that Harden will play during Monday's preseason matchup against the Mavericks, but he will sit out of the club's final preseason game against the Kings on Thursday, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.
Harden will suit up for the last time during the preseason Monday. The superstar is the Clippers' clear No. 2 option behind Kawhi Leonard (knee) with Paul George now in Philadelphia. However, Leonard has been known to miss regular-season games, and Harden will pick up the slack as the top option if, and when, Leonard is out.
