Shortly Following $100,000 Fine, Big Hearted James Harden Breaks Silence but Only for Other Noble Reasons

The last few months have been an unpleasant journey for Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden. Ever since the playoff exit in the last season, Harden hinted at his exit from the Philly side. However, the Beard couldn’t find a suitable contract in the off season so far. Apart from that, he also attracted a hefty fine from NBA for his statement against the Sixers’ president. While he remained silent after the fine update, he opened up via an IG post. But, for a different reason.

Harden had been giving out mixed signals about his affiliation with the Philadelphia franchise. While he celebrated 4th of July alongside his teammate, Joel Embiid, in a lavish party, he missed out on Embiid’s wedding. Moreover, he recently also called the team’s president, Daryl Morey, a ‘liar’ in public. Subsequently, he faced a fine of $100,000 as well. But unfazed by the action, the star recently engaged in charity work.
