James Harden Has Made His Return

As the Philadelphia 76ers gear up for their opening night showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks on the road this Thursday, they were fortunate to welcome back their star guard, James Harden, on Wednesday.

Harden's Reason for his Absence

James Harden, who had been absent from the 76ers since October 15 due to personal matters, rejoined the team for practice on Wednesday. The Beard is still awaiting the fulfillment of his trade request, but for the time being, he is back with the team.


Harden has conducted himself as a consummate professional throughout this entire process, and his time away from the team was excused due to these personal matters. It appears he may have spent this time in Houston, taking care of his mother.


How Soon Will We See him Play?

It appears that James Harden's on-court absence will persist. Sources from NBA on TNT and Bleacher Report confirm that he won't be travelling with the team to Milwaukee today but will, instead, remain in Philadelphia to continue his preparation.


There is also the possibility that he will continue to abstain from playing until he is traded. Nevertheless, if he does return to the court, his presence will unquestionably be a substantial asset for the 76ers. He is one of the league's top playmakers and could make an immediate impact on Philadelphia.
