At the Sixers’ training camp, James Harden only makes an appearance

While Adrian Wojnarowski announced that James Harden was going to disrupt the Sixers’ training camp in order to force his transfer to the Clippers, the 2018 MVP took the opposite view.

If he skipped “media day” and arrived late, the best passer of the last NBA season is ultimately not a distraction for Philadelphia. He thus trains normally and, although he carefully avoids Daryl Morey, he ultimately does not make waves, and in any case does not create any uncomfortable situation.

Except that as Shams Charania reports, James Harden is only present, since he missed all the preseason matches and he does not participate in the “scrimmages” either.

In fact, for two weeks, he has only participated in one five-on-five, on October 7…

It’s not easy for Nick Nurse to prepare for the campaign in these conditions, while Joel Embiid, currently ill, has also not participated in any preparation matches. While discussions continue between the Clippers and the Sixers, without reaching a conclusion for the moment, we can wonder if James Harden will take part in Philadelphia’s first game of the season, on October 26 against the Bucks, if he is still in the club’s squad.

For his only appearance in front of the press, “The Beard” reiterated that the divorce from Daryl Morey was complete, and that the relationship between the two men was not repairable.

“That’s life… When you no longer trust someone, it’s like a marriage. I wanted to finish my career at the Sixers. And the management had not foreseen this in its future plans.”
