James Harden is ramping up at the Philadelphia 76ers’ practice facility as they’ve been on a two-game road trip. As Harden continues to seek a trade, the Sixers will soon find out whether he is serious about playing for their team this season.
“The Sixers… they want to know whether James Harden is play basketball for them this season,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “He says he’s going to. If he wants to get paid most of his $35.6 million, he’s going to have to play if he’s not injured.
“They’re going to find out here, in the next few days, at they get closer to what should be a debut. If he doesn’t make his debut…”
Wojnarowski added that the NBA also doesn’t want teams to send players home whether because they’re trying to trade them or at the end of the season for draft pick positioning.
