For the second day in a row, James Harden did not show up for training camp in Philadelphia. The 2018 MVP is in Houston but the club’s management did not fine him, the Sixers explaining that the playmaker had to manage a “personal problem” while rumors evoke the state of health of his mother .
For Nick Nurse, who is making his debut in Pennsylvania, the situation is delicate to manage.
“I think the organization made it clear what was happening”, tried to dispatch the former Toronto coach. “They work on things, as they say, day by day. We had a really good practice today. There was a lot of energy. The guys that are there, that’s what we’re focusing on.”
If he had last week repeated his wish to leave, explaining that his marriage to Daryl Morey was impossible to repair, James Harden had left the door open to participating in his team’s last preseason match, this Friday, against the Hawks. But for Nick Nurse, this option is now ” unlikely “.
“I have a job to do with the guys that are here and we just have to work. If things change, we will adapt. This is how we operate.”
