Not Even in The All-Star Game, Harden Led The Sixers To Withdraw Nick To Prove His Skill

James Harden showed his ability to dominate a game against the Knicks despite not being named to the NBA's All-Star Game roster today, scoring 20 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds and hitting a game-deciding jumper in the final minutes of the game to help the 76ers beat the Knicks by 119 minutes. 108 ends a two-game losing streak.

The NBA announced the injured list for the Star Game, Joel Embiid and the Grizzly Bears Ja Morant and Lauri Markkanen filled in for Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Zion Williamson, who were sidelined with injuries Williamson was the All-Star Game starter, while Anthony Edwards, De'Aaron Fox and Pascal Siakam filled the three spots.

Although Harden won the fifth place in the player vote, the fourth place in the fan vote and the fifth place in the media vote in the star game, he could not be selected in the replacement list in the end, and was even taken by Siyakang, who ranked behind him in all the votes, which is considered to be the biggest missing pearl this year.

But in today's fight with Nick, Harden also proved himself with his performance, finishing with 20 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, not only helping the team win, but also the second highest "plus/minus" player in the game, behind teammate Tyrese Maxey, who scored 27 points off the bench. Ambiid's 35-point, 11-rebound, six-assist all-around performance helped the 76ers snap a two-game losing streak.
