Harden Officially Cleared for Monday's Game vs. Grizzlies

James Harden (calf) has been officially cleared to play Monday against the Grizzlies, resolving earlier confusion after coach Ty Lue's premature statement. Harden will shake off his questionable tag due to a left calf contusion. Over his last five appearances, he averaged 22.4 points, 6.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in 34.4 minutes per game, shooting 45.6% from the field and 35.0% from three-point range.
