James Harden, the veteran guard and current primary talking point in the NBA, has deleted his Instagram account. This development comes amidst Harden’s request for a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers, and his absence from the team’s practice facility since Sunday, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Adding to the situation, Jake Fischer has revealed that Harden is now in Houston. The 2018 MVP spent most of his career in “H-Town” and still maintains strong ties with the city. Despite his trade request at the beginning of the summer, there has been little movement in a potential deal, with the LA Clippers being the only team expressing legitimate interest.
ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne cites Harden’s frustration at the lack of movement regarding a potential trade to the Clippers. It is possible that this frustration is partly responsible for Harden remaining in Houston and could have contributed to his decision to delete his Instagram account.
As of now, it is unclear what the future holds for Harden and whether his trade request will be fulfilled. The current situation leaves fans and commentators alike speculating on the outcome, as the NBA world continues to closely watch the unfolding saga of James Harden.
