Harden told after practice that he's on pace to play against the Houston Rockets tomorrow night, Keith Pompey from The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. It was the first time playing five-on-five for Harden since the injury.

The 33-year-old missed the last month of NBA action due to a right foot tendon sprain that he suffered during the match against the Washington Wizards.

Harden has managed to play just 9 games this season, averaging 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists. Without Harden, the 76ers have gone 8-and-6 since November 2nd.

With 12 wins and 11 losses, the 76ers currently share 7th place in the Eastern Conference with the Toronto Raptors.
