Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden did not show up for practice Wednesday, sources told ESPN. Harden, who has sought a trade since picking up his $35.6 million player option for the 2023-24 season, had been expected to participate in Wednesday's practice.
Last week, Harden said he could make his preseason debut at home on Friday — the team's final preseason game — against the Atlanta Hawks.
Harden, after attending a meeting with the team in New York on Sunday, has been in Houston for the past few days, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
The franchise plans to allow Harden the chance to explain his absence before deciding how to handle any punishment, sources said.
