James Harden Heavily Booed by Philadelphia Fans in Return With Cavaliers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden faced heavy boos from Philadelphia 76ers fans during his return to Philadelphia for a 2026-27 NBA season matchup. The 11-time All-Star, who played for the 76ers from 2021 to 2023, was jeered at tipoff and during his first free-throw attempts of the game. Harden signed a three-year, $97 million extension with Cleveland this past offseason after joining the franchise last year.
