Cleveland star James Harden sustained a nondisplaced fracture of his right thumb during Tuesday night’s win over the New York Knicks, the team declared Wednesday.
Harden underwent X-rays on Wednesday that revealed the injury. He was ruled out for Wednesday night’s game at Milwaukee after initially being listed as questionable.
Harden, who plans to play through the injury, has been evaluated by a hand specialist and will not require surgery, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania. He will undergo treatment and further evaluation, according to the team.

Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson reported during his pregame media availability he isn’t sure on which play Harden was injured and that it’s “a little too early for me to say exactly what the prognostic is.”
Harden was traded from the LA Clippers to the Cavaliers on Feb. 3. In seven games with Cleveland, the 17-year veteran is averaging 18.9 points, eight assists and 4.6 rebounds. Before the trade, he averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 44 appearances with the Clippers this season.
Cleveland (37-22) has won eight of its past nine games and is tied for third place in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs were also without Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley against the Bucks.
