The Sixers look really, really good. And especially for that reason, they should be patient in finding the proper return for James Harden. They can’t settle when the right package could put them back in the title convo. – 10:15 PM

James Harden doesn’t want to be a Sixer… but he wanted to join the team in Milwaukee so badly a team official had to stop him? And the NBA is going to investigate his absence for…like…hamstring ramp up drills, or something?

Hung out with #ClipperNation last night and witnessed a utterly comfy opening night W. Couldn’t help but contrast that to how uncomfortable James Harden is making things in Philly. Whatever eventually happens, Clippers seem to be playing it exactly right.

The risk the Clippers are taking by trying to wait out the Sixers on James Harden is that some other team could start the season hot, or cold, and decide to chase Harden.
I’ve got three teams in the back of my mind on that front:
1. Lakers. Rob Pelinka is Harden’s former agent.… – 7:06 PM

More on this storyline
The Sixers maintain that Harden’s ramp-up is the priority, while Harden’s camp believes the priority is to eliminate a perceived potential distraction as the team opens with a tough two-game road trip. If he’s with the team, Nurse and teammates would likely have to field ample Harden-related questions on the day of the game. Also, Harden would be required to sit on the bench during the game, as star players who are not playing are now required to be visibly present for fans. Franchise star Joel Embiid has experienced a fair share of upheaval with the Sixers. Rival teams are keeping a close eye on how much more he’s willing to endure. -via Bleacher Report / October 26, 2023
Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden showed up to the team’s practice facility in Camden, New Jersey, on Wednesday, much to the team’s surprise. He had been away for the prior 10 days to tend to a personal matter—an excused absence. During a light shooting session, Harden was approached by team officials. He was told it would be beneficial for him to remain in Philadelphia to continue the ramp-up process as opposed to going with the team on their two-game road trip starting with the season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, league sources tell Bleacher Report. -via Bleacher Report / October 26, 2023
Harden had returned with the intention of reacclimating himself with the team, knowing assistant coach Rico Hines—his primary workout trainer—would be traveling along with the rest of the supporting staff, sources say. Initially, staying back was interpreted as a suggestion rather than a mandate, sources say. Harden proceeded to participate in portions of the session with the intention of joining the the team on the flight to Milwaukee that afternoon. After practice, Harden arrived at the fixed-base operator airport to board the team flight, but he was stopped by a security official who notified him that he was not permitted to accompany the team, sources say. -via Bleacher Report / October 26, 2023
