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.”
Harden just got into the kayfabe HOF for this bit.
That’s crazy timing
I’m going to believe this one is real, simply because harden is t so cold hearted he would use his mom as a pawn
The GOAT of quitting!
This is the same excuse i used when i had to explain the “gap year” in my resume lmao
Sixers are done
Trying to save himself from being fined and violating contract conditions.
it’s fucking gross that harden is using his mom like this.
Currently going through a scare with my own mom. Some things are more important.
This actually adds a lot of context for his actions over the last year or so. Like knowing that he wanted to be in Houston for his mom makes all of the propaganda his team was putting out last year make sense.
There goes Morey’s leverage.
I’m sure the Sixers would have been fine with this if he had simply told them
I wish the best for his mom. Hope she recovers and I certainly wouldn’t blame him for focusing on that, but adding the unnecessary “He feels a sense of betrayal from Philly,” just makes me cast some doubt about its legitimacy.
Dude can afford to pay the best nurses and doctors in the country to rotate 24/7 ensuring the best care imaginable…
Fine the ever loving shit out of him.
This is a undignified. His mother may be in end of life care. Spend time with your loved ones because no money can buy back time.
I really hope he’s telling the truth and that his mom recovers quickly. If he’s using his mom as an excuse then he’s a total scum bag. There’s a lot of stuff going on with him and Philly and he has said that he wanted to make it messy.
