When the 2021-22 season ended, James Harden made clear he’d like to remain with the Philadelphia 76ers moving forward. Whether that meant opting in to his 2022-23 player option, inking a max deal or something in between was unclear — until now.
According to Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, “all signs point toward All-Star guard James Harden returning to the Philadelphia 76ers on a shorter-term contract extension.”
Fischer said Harden and Sixers management are in lockstep about the fact that his best chance to win a title is in Philadelphia, with Joel Embiid leading the way.
