James Harden Remains A Spectator Monday
7 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard James Harden (personal) is not playing in Monday's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets. Harden is yet to participate during exhibition play, but the Sixers plan for the former MVP to be in Friday's lineup versus the Atlanta Hawks for the preseason finale. Trade talks surrounding Harden's name remain far from over, but the 10-time All-Star at least appears committed to playing for Philadelphia in 2023-24 for the time being. Fantasy managers probably shouldn't look Harden's way until the second round of drafts are completed to be safe, but he figures to be a 20-point, 10-assist machine once again this season if he sticks around in Philly. Tyrese Maxey should command the offense on Monday night, with veteran Patrick Beverley a candidate to start alongside him in the backcourt.
