Los Angeles: Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden has been fined $100,000 by the NBA after vowing never to play for the team under general manager Daryl Morey, the league said Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).
The league said in a statement it had fined Harden for indicating he would 'not perform the services called for under his player contract' unless he was traded to another team.In scathing remarks made during an event in China earlier this month, Harden, who has requested a trade from the club, branded Sixers boss Morey 'a liar'.
'For me, it's just focus on what I can control and getting ready for this season.'The NBA said it had interviewed Harden as part of its investigation, and confirmed that the remarks 'referenced Harden's belief that the 76ers would not accommodate his request to be traded'.The 33-year-old 10-time All-Star told the team in July that he wanted to be traded away from the franchise after joining from Brooklyn in February 2022.
