Rockets' Harden Will Miss Two Games

The Houston Rockets say that guard James Harden has been diagnosed with a grade 1-plus strain to his left hamstring and will miss at least the next two games. Harden left Wednesday's loss to the Utah Jazz in the fourth quarter.

The Rockets have reportedly offered the Minnesota Timberwolves four future first-round draft picks in exchange for Jimmy Butler. The four picks are the maximum number of first-rounders allowed in a deal under league rules.
