James Harden sat out his first game of the season Sunday when the Houston Rockets visited the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right toe sprain.
The superstar appeared to hurt himself during Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets, although he finished that game.
Harden leads the NBA in scoring by a wide margin at 38.3 points per game - almost eight points more than second-place Giannis Antetokounmpo. He's scored 40-plus in 13 of 32 contests, and 50-plus five times.
