James Harden Skips Practice Once Again After Trade Demand

The third time is the charm, as reports state that James Harden hasn’t been with the Sixers since Sunday and didn’t show up for practice on Tuesday. This is nothing new as Harden has done this with his last three teams.

Yahoo Sports has continued to report that Harden has returned to his house in Houston, just like he did when he skipped the Sixers media day. It was previously announced that Harden was hurt but later emerged that he was actually back in Houston, however, this isn’t the first time Harden claimed injury when unhappy.

Due to the Clippers’ unwillingness to compromise in a trade package, it was stated Tuesday night that it is “increasingly likely” that Harden will begin the season on the 76ers’ roster.
