The ongoing saga surrounding James Harden’s trade request continues to unfold, with the former NBA MVP steadfast in his desire to join the Los Angeles Clippers.

Harden’s strained relationship with Sixers general manager Daryl Morey has been widely publicized, leaving no room for reconciliation.

As trade discussions between the 76ers and the Clippers persist, Harden’s presence with the team remains, albeit with certain caveats. NBA insider Shams Charania recently shed light on the situation.

“While professional and engaged when present, James Harden has not attended any of the 76ers’ preseason games and has participated in just one team practice scrimmage over 14 days of training camp,” he tweeted.
