James Harden said he was basically blind in Game 2, but the eye doctor said he is fine and will be full go in Game 3.
That is good for the Rockets.
After the Rockets’ flight landed in Houston on Wednesday afternoon, Harden went straight to an eye doctor. Tests revealed no damage to either of Harden’s corneas, a source said, and the Rockets expect his vision to be completely clear by Saturday’s Game 3.
Harden suffered contusions in both eyes and a laceration on the inside of his left eyelid when he was inadvertently hit in the face by Golden State’s Draymond Green a little more than five minutes into the Rockets’ Game 2 loss on Tuesday.
Harden said he could “barely see” after returning to the game in the second quarter. He frequently squinted and shielded his eyes from the light for the remainder of the game and his postgame news conference. Harden’s vision in his left eye was especially blurry.
