James Harden Expected To Practice Tuesday With Sixers

The Philadelphia 76ers and James Harden may be cleaning up their mess, before it gets too out of hand with the league, as it’s expected Harden will report to their practice on Tuesday.

Despite not being able to travel with the team, or playing in their home opener, there is a real possibility of him getting some minutes in Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

According to head coach Nick Nurse, the veteran guard has gone through the walkthrough for Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Plus, he participated in video work.

It is very much expected of him to rejoin the team and to start practicing full-time again.

With all that said, the next step is for Harden to do live work to test whether or not he is eligible to play against Toronto. A decision is most likely to be made shortly after that practice.

Sixers Thought About Signing Ben Simmons

According to Jake Fischer, a reunion between Philadelphia and Ben Simmons was explored by the 76ers.

Before the former Rookie of the Year winner signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers expressed interest in him. Even Philly had slightly expressed interest in him.

The last time Simmons was in a Sixers’ jersey was back in 2022, before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. Neither players remain on Philly.

In this season for Brooklyn, the 28-year-old averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. In his debut game for the Clippers, he put up 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 3.0 steals, and a block.
