JAMES HARDEN NEWS

Won't play Thursday Harden (personal) is expected to travel with the 76ers to Milwaukee but won't play against the Bucks on Thursday, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Impact Harden's status for Opening Night is relatively unsurprising given his recent 10-day absence due to a personal issue, but it's encouraging that he returned to the team's practice facility Wednesday and suited up for practice. Patrick Beverley, Tyrese Maxey and De'Anthony Melton could see increased run against Milwaukee, while Harden's next opportunity to make his season debut will be Saturday in Toronto.

Returns to practice facility Harden (personal) returned to the 76ers' practice facility Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Harden spent 10 days away from the team while tending to a personal matter, one that could be related to his troubles with the team, but he'll be present for Wednesday's practice session as the 76ers prepare for Thursday's regular-season opener in Milwaukee. It's unclear whether he'll be available Opening Night, but his presence at practice alone should give fantasy managers some peace of mind following an eventful offseason. Tyrese Maxey and Patrick Beverley will likely see increased run at point guard if Harden is unavailable or limited Thursday.

Still away from team Harden (personal) remains away from the team and won't participate in Monday's practice, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact After arriving at 76ers training camp Oct. 4, Harden had been regularly practicing but didn't appear in any preseason contests before he abruptly left the team early last week. The 10-time All-Star's decision to step away from the 76ers is a likely indication that he hasn't mended his relationship with general manager Daryl Morey and is still seeking a trade, but it's unclear if Philadelphia is motivated to move the veteran guard if the price isn't right. At this stage, Wojnarowski relays that it's unclear whether Harden will be ready to play in the 76ers' season opener Thursday at Milwaukee. Tyrese Maxey and Patrick Beverley will likely serve as the 76ers' primary options at point guard for however long Harden is away.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Officially out Friday Harden (persona) remains away from the team and won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Harden hasn't been with the team since practicing Sunday, and his status for the start of the regular season seems murky, at best. The 76ers have been in trade talks with the Clippers, and presumably other teams, but their asking price has been too high for a disgruntled veteran. If Harden isn't available for the start of the regular season, Patrick Beverley and De'Anthony Melton would be candidates for increased playing time.
