James Harden joined the Philadelphia 76ers training camp in Colorado.
The 34-year-old guard joined his teammates on the third day of practice despite his threat to boycott training until he is traded to another team as he is eager to leave.
Harden entered the final year of his contract and is unable to continue his tantrum, because he risks suspension, the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement says. However, the basketball player was extremely disappointed by the decision of the team’s management not to receive an offer of a new long-term contract in the summer, as he had received from the president of basketball operations of the Sixers Daryl Morey a year ago, he claimed.
Harden, a ten-time All-Star, has not hidden his desire to join the Los Angeles Clippers, but a deal between the two clubs has not been reached at the moment and is getting more and more unlikely to happen.
