The NBA announced Tuesday that it has fined 76ers star James Harden $100,000 after his recent comments which in part referred to franchise president Daryl Morey as a "liar."
The league last week launched an inquiry into the circumstances around Harden's comments on Aug. 14 and 17, which the NBA said indicated "he would not perform the services called for under his player contract unless traded to another team."
The investigation found that the comments stemmed from Harden's belief that the team would not accommodate his trade request, the NBA said in a statement.
