James Harden Update:
Harden’s return is uncertain because he’s tending to his mom who is ill, I’m told.
The mindset of the 76ers PG is that the health of his mother comes first.
“He’s going through it,” a source with knowledge shares.
“He loves to compete & he is in the best shape of his life. But he feels a sense of betrayal from Philly.”
That betrayal apparently stems from the Harden publicly calling Sixers team President Daryl Morey “a liar.”
Per a source: “Hopefully he returns, but family comes first.”
He already wasn’t coming back when he called Morey a liar in China. His mom being ill was an unfortunate coincidence. That being said, he’s not playing basketball for awhile and when he does, it won’t be in Philly.
