James Harden’s Stats, Career Average, and Next Destination!
Harden is one of the best players in the league. He is a 10-time All-Star who led the league in assists for the second time in his career last season.
Harden averaged around 21 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 10.7 assists in a total of 58 games while playing for the Sixers.

According to an NBA Insider, Zach Lowe of ESPN, the Sixers might prevent the Beard Star from getting into free agency in the summer of 2024 if he holds out for more than 1 month.
If the star guard doesn’t report to the NBA training camp, which is around the corner, there are various holdout rules that would be applied to him.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have often been linked to James Harden, but the situation could take a shift after the media day.
