NBA Investigating James Harden Situation Amidst His Clippers Trade Request
In a report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, it was revealed that the NBA is launching an inquiry into the current James Harden situation. It has been known for a while that Harden would like a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers to the LA Clippers, but with his recent comments about Daryl Morey, the NBA has decided to look further into this situation.
In his article on the situation, Wojnarowski reported the following:
"The NBA has launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden's public admonishment of the franchise's president of basketball operations, Daryl Morey, sources told ESPN. The league office is believed to be pursuing an understanding of whether Harden was portending a 2023-24 holdout in violation of the league's collective bargaining agreement or had been referencing past contract discussions with the organization that might constitute salary cap circumvention, sources said."
It seems the NBA is looking into both sides of this situation, to see if there have been any violations on the part of Harden or the 76ers. This comes shortly after it was reported that the 76ers were shutting down trade talks with the Clippers, which led to Harden publicly calling Morey a liar during his China tour.
This has been a bizarre situation from the beginning, and one that doesn't look to be nearing a resolution any time soon.
