Arriving at the Sixers training camp a day after the rest of the team, James Harden had nevertheless shown seriousness since despite tensions with the Philadelphia front office. But the latest news is that the Bearded Man is no longer with the Philly group…
Are we witnessing a new turning point in the James Harden saga? It’s possible.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Bearded man was not at Sixers training this Wednesday. No reason was given but the insider used the word “no-show”, which basically means he skipped today’s session. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, Harden is actually in Houston, without knowing why. Even more troubling, Harden has not been with the Sixers team since Sunday, he who continues to await his transfer. And it’s unclear if he plans to rejoin the group in the coming days.

While Harden had behaved like a professional by participating in training without making waves, and we thought he was on track to play his first preseason game this Friday against Atlanta, we are witnessing a real turnaround situation. In addition to the information from Shams, we also learned in recent hours that the Bearded Man had in fact only participated in one scrimmage with his team during training camp.
While he is still looking to be traded to the Clippers, James Harden may have decided to change his mind to make the situation very uncomfortable in Philadelphia, all in an attempt to crack up Sixers manager Daryl Morey . That’s what he did in Houston and Brooklyn, when he absolutely wanted to pack his bags. Unless his absence means that a transfer is imminent…

Harden was expected at practice today, sources said. In other words the “no-show” was not communicated in advance.
