Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden reportedly wasn't permitted to board a team flight as his standoff with the franchise continues.
As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to open their season with a marquee matchup against the new-look Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, they will do so without the services of star guard James Harden.Harden demanded a trade this summer and has been increasingly confrontational with the team as weeks went by without a deal, but an already shallow pool of potential suitors seemingly dried up entirely recently when the Los Angeles Clippers reportedly pulled back from trade conversations for the time being.
An affronted Harden reportedly left without further incident.The idea of a star player showing up to a team plane and being told to turn around and head home was, of course, a little too good for social media to pass up. That was doubly the case for long-suffering Philadelphia fans who are ready to move on from the ugly Harden saga.Harden's offseason hobbies might have familiarized him with this sort of thing.Meanwhile, Liberty Ballers is simply tired of all of this.
