The NBA world has been waiting patiently for James Harden to make his Clipper debut.

It's been almost a week since the 76ers and Clippers agreed to the trade that ended Harden's time in Philadelphia, but the 10-time All-Star has yet to play for his new team.

The trade was made official on Nov. 1, the day after the Clippers faced and defeated the Magic. Harden was then ruled out of the team's overtime loss to the Lakers due to return to competition reconditioning.

How much longer do Clippers fans have to wait to see Harden? Here's the latest on his status for Monday's game.

TRADE GRADES: Did the 76ers get enough for Harden?

Is James Harden playing tonight?

Harden has been cleared to make his Clipper debut on Monday against the Knicks.

According to The Athletic's Shams Charania and Law Murray, Harden is expected to start with Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac. 

It'll mark the third different starting lineup for the Clippers, who opened the season with Robert Covington starting alongside Westbrook, George, Leonard and Zubac. In the two games between the trade being agreed to and Harden's debut, Bones Hyland got the bump into the starting lineup.

Harden has yet to play in the 2023-24 season. He's coming off of an All-Star caliber season with the 76ers that saw him average 21.0 points and a league-leading 10.7 assists per game.

Harden said ahead of his Clipper debut that he has "no restrictions."
