James Harden participated in the 76ers' pregame walkthrough on Sunday and is set to practice with the team this week ahead of a potential season debut on Thursday.
"James was here," Nurse said ahead of Sunday night's game at Wells Fargo Center."He was here for the film session and walkthrough. The report on him is he had some good conditioning days, still in the ramp up process, looking to have him back in practice on Tuesday. That's about where we are with that."
It's been a circuitous route to this point for Harden and the 76ers, as the saga over Harden's potential participation with the team this season continues to drag on. Harden requested a trade back in June when he opted into his $35.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season, and called 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey"a liar" multiple times during a promotional appearance in China in August.
In the meantime, Harden skipped media day and the team's first day of training camp at Colorado State University before showing up for the second day. He then was around the team for the next 10 days, only to then be away from the team for another 10 for what the team deemed a personal situation.
