James Harden Out Versus Boston
1 year agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard James Harden (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason meeting with the Celtics. Under normal circumstances, nobody would give much thought to someone missing an exhibition. However, the multi-time All-Star remains hopeful he'll be traded, specifically to the Clippers, meaning he could miss all of Philadelphia's preseason contests ahead of the regular season, assuming he's still on the roster by then. With De'Anthony Melton and Furkan Korkmaz also inactive for rest purposes, 2021 first-round pick Jaden Springer, freshly signed Kelly Oubre Jr., and veteran Patrick Beverley may see extra work alongside Tyrese Maxey.
