James Harden suffered a hamstring strain on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, the Houston Rockets announced Monday.
Harden played 41 minutes in the Rockets’ 148-142 double-overtime win, scoring 41 points. He exited in the final minute of regulation and missed both overtime periods.

The Rockets are 26-9 and will likely slip a little without their MVP candidate in the lineup for two weeks. At least they have Chris Paul in the lineup, which should help them maintain competitiveness.
