Nets star James Harden reveals his timetable during the quarantine. The former MVP was cleared from the COVID protocols to participate in the Christmas day game against the LA Lakers.

The Lakers had an incredible comeback during the fourth quarter, courtesy of LeBron James. However, Harden’s timely alley-oop pass to Nic Claxton sealed the deal for the Nets.
