Harden, who reported to training camp and practice with the Sixers in early October, rejoins the team after spending 10 days away from the facility.
James Harden has rejoined the 76ers for Wednesday’s practice ahead of the team’s season opener Thursday night at the Milwaukee Bucks.
It’s the latest turn in an ongoing saga involving the disgruntled star point guard, who still wants to be traded and recently said his relationship with president of basketball operations Daryl Morey is irreparable. Harden had been away from the Sixers since Oct. 15. He did not play in any of the Sixers’ four preseason games, after initially saying on Oct. 13 that he planned to physically ramp up to take the floor their exhibition finale last Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.
Harden also missed the Sixers’ media day on Oct. 2 and their first training camp practice in Fort Collins, Colo., the following day. He joined the team at Colorado State on Oct. 4 and was participating in portions of practices until the team departed for an Oct. 16 preseason game at the Brooklyn Nets. Harden returned to Houston, where he makes his home following his tenure playing for the Rockets.
