, he could also return to Philly next season after the team parted ways with Doc Rivers.
When asked if he would like Harden to return, new Sixers head coach Nick Nurse told reporters he thought Harden was a “great player.”“I would say this — James has a decision to make. And I’d be very happy if he came back,” Nurse said.There’s no clear indication of what type of player Nurse would welcome back to Philly.
