James Harden, the 2018 NBA MVP, seems to be sending a message amid his reported wish to leave the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers traded for Harden during the 2021-22 season. 

Ahead of this offseason's free agency period, Harden opted into his $35.6 million deal for the upcoming season, according to multiple reports. 

ESPN reported that Harden requested a trade, and the Los Angeles Clippers have been mentioned as one of his preferred destinations. Harden has made the next move in the ongoing saga by removing references to the Sixers from his social media platforms.

Harden's Twitter bio previously said he was an "NBA Player for the Philadelphia 76ers" and his location was listed as "Philadelphia, PA."

Both references have now disappeared.

The only item listed in Harden's bio as of Thursday afternoon is the Twitter handle for his wine business, "@jhardenwines."

The 33-year-old's Instagram bio also no longer mentions he is a member of the Sixers. But Harden did keep several photos of him in a 76ers uniform on his account.
