Amid the dramatic offseason trade updates, Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has maintained a low-key public profile so far. Apart from promoting his wine brand once on social media, the 10x NBA All-Star didn’t make any public appearance since his playoff exit. However, the Sixers star returned to Twitter in style with star-studded pictures alongside his teammates and other stars at a billionaire’s annual 4th of July party. In response to the recent tweet, fans swarmed the comments inquiring about the exit rumors.
