It’s been a tumultuous few weeks for Houston Rockets superstar James Harden. After missing the team’s media day and reportedly demanding a trade, it’s unclear what his status is for the upcoming training camp.
The drama began when Harden was a no-show at the Rockets’ media day on December 3rd. Reports soon surfaced that Harden wanted to be traded from the team, citing a desire to play for a championship contender. The Rockets have since denied that they are actively looking to move the former MVP, but that hasn’t stopped speculation from swirling.
The situation has left many wondering what Harden’s status will be for the team’s upcoming training camp. It’s unclear if he will report to camp or if he will remain away from the team until a trade is finalized.
The Rockets have been adamant that they are not actively looking to move Harden, but it’s clear that they are open to the idea if the right deal comes along. With the NBA season set to begin in just a few weeks, it’s likely that the Rockets will want to have their star player in camp as soon as possible.
At this point, it’s hard to say what will happen with Harden and the Rockets. It’s clear that he wants out of Houston, but it remains to be seen if the team will be able to find a suitable trade partner. Until then, Harden’s status for training camp remains up in the air.
