Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden grabs a rebound during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Orlando Magic, Sunday, March 13, 2022, in Orlando, Fla.
Morey said Harden was being treated like any other player on the roster and was expected to attend training camp. Harden has been one of the league’s top players for the past decade, having won three scoring titles and the 2018 league MVP award. He led the league in assists last season.Harden is a 10-time All-Star but essentially forced his way with trades out of Houston and Brooklyn and now seems intent on adding the Sixers to the list. It appears playing as the second option behind NBA MVP Joel Embiid and chasing a championship in Philly is no longer seriously on the table.
“I think it’s been unfortunate what has been going on,” Embiid said. “The goal is to be together and try to win a championship.” Harden, acquired at the 2022 trade deadline from Brooklyn for Ben Simmons, scored 45 points in Game 1 and 42 in Game 4 victories against the Boston Celtics. Harden was 0 for 6 on 3s in Game 2 and Game 6 losses. He scored only nine points in Game 7, and he went scoreless in the second half.
