Will we see James Harden with the Philadelphia 76ers at all?
It’s NBA season-opening week and James Harden still has not reported back to the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s missed practice for what is now the past week and there’s no update on when or if he’ll be back with the team. It’s widely known that he wants to be traded but there hasn’t been much traction on any deal with his preferred destination, the LA Clippers. Could that be the biggest driving force why he’s not with the Sixers? At this point, who knows? There has been some reporting on that front but it’s impossible to say what really is going on until Harden speaks.
Of course, the problem with that is we don’t know exactly when that will happen. And when it does happen, if it’ll be in a Sixers uniform or a Clippers one. Right now, we must take the wait-and-see approach with both Harden and the Sixers.
What is the next shoe (or piece of news) that is going to drop? How will it push the narrative forward? This first week of the season should give us a greater indication of that.
