James Harden, an NBA point guard, talks about the prоspect of finishing his career with the Los Angeles Clippers.
During the Clippers’ victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, Chris Haynes of TNT Sports revealed that James Harden is thinking about resigning from the team.
Next, following Tuesday’s 128-117 victory over the Clippers, Harden was questioned regarding the possibility of playing for the franchise for the remainder of his career.
In response, Harden said that he had experienced identical feelings when playing for the Philadelphia 76ers the previous season. He’s now with the Clippers, though, and he’s excited about the chance to construct a solid future squad after problems with the team’s administration brought him here.
“I thought the same thing last year, last team (Philadelphia 76ers) I was on. That’s why I did all those sacrifices. But I’m here, home. We have an opportunity. I want to be able to keep the core together for a few years, and I haven’t had those opportunities the last few years. So things are going well, and I’m happy,” the 34-year-old point guard remarked.
The Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder were the recipients of a significant transaction that the Los Angeles Clippers made on November 1, 2023. James Harden, P. J. Tucker, and Filip Petrušev were acquired by the Clippers from the 76ers.
For the Clippers, Harden has performed admirably. He has made clutch plays, including as the game-winning basket against the Houston Rockets.
In addition, Harden is currently ranked 23rd on the list of the NBA’s all-time top scorers.
The Clippers had started the season with a record of 0–6 without James Harden, but they have since turned things around, with a record of 22 wins and 7 defeats.
James Harden has played in the NBA for 14 seasons, with the Oklahoma City Thunder (2009–2012), Houston Rockets (2012–2020), Brooklyn Nets (2020–2021), and Philadelphia 76ers (2021–2023) among the teams he has represented.
