NBA fines James Harden $100,000!

The American Basketball League (NBA) administration fined James Harden $100,000, who said he did not want to play for the team while Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey was in office.

According to the statement on the NBA website, Harden’s comments stating that he would not perform services under his contract unless he was traded to another team were cited as the reason for the penalty.

Harden, whom the US press claims to have demanded a trade from the 76ers, said at a promotional event in China on August 14: “Daryl Morey is a liar. I will never play for a club he is a part of.” he had used the phrase.

As a result of the disciplinary investigation, the statement in question was claimed to refer to Harden’s belief that the 76ers would not honor the trade request.

It was alleged that Harden, who turns 34 on August 26, wanted to go to the Los Angeles Clippers, but Morey reneged on his promise to the player that he would provide the trade.

A recipient of the 2018 regular season MVP award, Harden became the 3-time points king and 2-time assists king, as well as being a 10-time All-Star selection. (AA)
