Harden scored 24 points against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night in a 121-111 victory.

This comes as Joel Embiid missed his third game of the season, sitting out with an illness the team said was not related to COVID-19.

The Sixers are back in action on Friday as they host the New York Knicks.
