Harden has pretty much hit the timetable at which he was supposed to be re-evaluated, and apparently things are progressing well enough for D’Antoni to voice this as a possibility. The Warriors have surpassed the Rockets for the best record in the league, so it’s safe to say that matchup would be a big one for Harden to return for.
