James Harden makes debut for Rockets, has yet to speak to the media since requesting trade

James Harden made his debut for the Houston Rockets scoring 12 points in 21 minutes of action.

The guard did not speak to reporters before and after the game and he has yet to speak to the media since requesting a trade and briefly holding out of training camp.

Per ESPN, “He was good,” first-year Rockets coach Stephen Silas said. “I mean, he’s obviously a great player and can do so many things on the floor, on and off the ball. Defensively, he has great hands and makes plays and is smart. So to have him out there was great.”
