When Philadelphia 76ers GM Daryl Morey brought James Harden back into the fold, he invited his new team down the same path that led to him stepping down from his last one. Will it cost him Joel Embiid? backsportspage.com/the-james-hard… #NBA #BackSportsPage #HardwoodHuddle – 10:20 AM

Clutch Points: “He still thinks of himself as the guy from that Game 1 [vs. the Celtics]… he thinks he should be leading the show. The reason why he wanted out of Philadelphia in the first place is that it’s the Joel Embiid show right now.” — Rachel Nichols on James Harden -via Twitter / August 31, 2023
The 76ers gave James Harden an unexpected olive branch on Saturday. The team tweeted “happy birthday @JHarden13” for the 10-time All-Star guard, who was recently fined $100,000 by the NBA for his public comments made while on at a press event with Adidas in China -via New York Post / August 26, 2023
