James Harden kept his comments about his future brief following the season-ending defeat of his Philadelphia 76ers by the Boston Celtics. When asked about his relationship with coach Doc Rivers and whether he believes Rivers should return as the team’s coach next season, Harden simply said, “Our relationship is OK.”
“I haven’t even thought about it,” Harden stated when questioned about his future.
This summer, Harden has the choice to either opt into his $35.6 million player option for the upcoming season or decline it and become an unrestricted free agent. This decision will be pivotal not only for Harden but also for the 76ers and the entire NBA, given the undeniable impact the player can bring to any team he plays on.
Harden, one of the league’s top offensive players, has had an up-and-down season with the 76ers, ending with playoff elimination. As of now, his future remains uncertain.
