James Harden's Relationship with Joel Embiid Fractured Post-76ers Trade

James Harden's relationship with former Philadelphia 76ers teammate Joel Embiid has fractured, with Embiid stating that Harden is no longer speaking to him. Harden reportedly believes Embiid holds him responsible for his trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, a claim Embiid insists is untrue, stating he had no influence on personnel decisions. This strained friendship occurs as Harden is set to be joined by Bradley Beal on the Clippers, where he is expected to be a key player.
