The National Basketball Association (NBA) is reportedly investigating an allegation that Houston Rockets star James Harden accused Philadelphia 76ers president Daryl Morey of lying. According to an Associated Press source, the NBA is looking into the matter to determine if any rules were violated.
The allegation stems from an incident that occurred during a game between the Rockets and the 76ers on April 8th. During the game, Harden reportedly accused Morey of lying about a play that was called. The play in question was a foul call on Rockets guard Victor Oladipo.
The NBA has yet to comment on the situation, but it is believed that the league is taking the allegation seriously. If it is found that Harden violated any league rules, he could face disciplinary action.
This is not the first time that Harden has been involved in controversy. Last season, he was fined for criticizing officials and making derogatory comments about the league. He also had a run-in with the league office when he was accused of tampering with other teams’ players.
It remains to be seen what the outcome of this investigation will be, but it is clear that the NBA is taking this allegation seriously. It is important for the league to ensure that its players are held to a high standard of conduct and that any violations of league rules are dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
