James Harden’s future with the Philadelphia 76ers continues to be uncertain following his trade request earlier this summer. The veteran superstar has attracted minimal attention, with the LA Clippers appearing to be the only team willing to make a trade for the former MVP. However, the Clippers are struggling to construct a trade package to meet Daryl Morey’s lofty asking price.
With no viable trade options available, Harden remains with the Sixers and has been a part of the franchise throughout the training camp in recent weeks. Despite his presence, he has not been very involved in on-court activities. In fact, Harden has rarely participated in basketball operations during this time.
Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported that James Harden has only taken part in one scrimmage over the past two weeks. This lack of participation in the Sixers’ training and preparations calls into question whether he will be a part of the team’s lineup when the new season kicks off.
As time goes on, the situation remains complex for both James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers. His minimal involvement in training could signal that his future with the team is still very much up in the air, with the possibility of a trade continuing to linger. For now, his prospects of playing for Philadelphia in the new season seem increasingly unlikely.
