76ers Don’t Want To Pay James Harden Max Contract

Per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the 76ers have no interest in offering James Harden a max contract. There is no real motivation to pay him the max, which is why the organization asked him to take a pay cut.

“The 76ers have not shown an appetite to pay Harden the max; that’s why they asked him to take a pay cut last year,” Windhorst reported. “The Sixers are not really motivated to pay him that max salary if they don’t think anybody else is going to do it.”

Harden is eligible to sign a four-year deal with the 76ers for over $210 million, whereas another team could only offer him $201.7 million over four years. Also, he is only able to sign a four-year deal due to the Over-38 rule.

James Harden is a top guard in this summer’s free agency.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Joel Embiid Suffers Sinus Fracture; Out At Least A Week

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be without Joel Embiid for at least the next week due to their big man suffering a right sinus fracture.

The injury happened last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, which saw Bennedict Mathurin attempt to grab the rebound; however, upon landing, his arm crashed into the face of the 30-year-old.

Once Embiid went to the locker room, he never returned to the bench.

Embiid has only played in six of the 23 games this season.

In 17 games this season, Drummond averages 8.1 points and 8.2 rebounds in 20.4 minutes.
