Sixers' Joel Embiid Named an All-Star Reserve; James Harden's All-Star Streak Ends

“I’m working on it, so that’s pretty exciting,” Harden said. “Don’t want to do too much, just catch and shoot. You put the work in; I work on it every day. Opportunities are going to come, whether it’s from Joel, whether it’s from dribble penetration and guys getting to the paint, creating mismatches, creating double teams and they’ll get a shot for me.”

Last year’s All-Star Game took place shortly after the Sixers acquired Harden from the Nets. Though he did not participate because he was rehabbing a left hamstring injury, Harden was honored as a member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team. “I’m not going to sit up here and say I should be an All-Star, make a case or none of that, but the numbers show it. Our seed shows it,” Harden said Wednesday. “It would be I think my 11th in a row, so obviously it’s always an honor. You never want to take none of that for granted. It means you’re doing something right and you’re making an impact on your team. … If my name is called, great. If not, we have bigger and better goals for the season.
