One might have thought that James Harden?s remarks against his former team?s president would have no repercussions. They would, however, be wrong.

A few days after Harden?s words became public, ESPN reported that the NBA has begun an official inquiry into the player?s actions. According to the article, the offices of the renowned league are investigating whether Harden engaged in a ?violation of the league’s collective bargaining agreement.?

Prominent NBA reporter Shams Charania took to X to report on the news. He explained that Harden was cooperating with the probe, telling them that Daryl Morey offered to trade Harden ?quickly? after he had opted into his $35.6 million option. The official stance of the 76ers, however, has changed since then and they want to reportedly retain Harden for the next few years.
