Fact Check: Did James Harden Skip Joel Embiid’s Wedding for Clubbing? Uncovering the Sixers Star’s Truth

James Harden and Joel Embiid’s days as Philadelphia 76ers teammates could be numbered after Harden requested a trade earlier this offseason. The team’s president of basketball operations, Daryl Morey, is open to fulfilling the request if he receives fair compensation in return.

Joel Embiid’s Wedding

While the 76ers and Harden struggle to reach an agreement, Joel Embiid and several of his teammates attended Embiid’s wedding in the Hamptons. The Cameroonian married his longtime girlfriend Anne de Paula in a lavish ceremony attended by the couple’s families and friends.

James Harden’s Absence

Conspicuously missing from the wedding was James Harden, whom Embiid had referred to as a close friend in previous interviews. The Philadelphia point guard couldn’t attend the event due to a promotional commitment for Trill Burgers with rapper Bun B. As the situation between Harden and the 76ers remains uncertain, the team and its fans await the outcome of the trade request.
