FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- James Harden is participating in practice with the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday at Colorado State University, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Harden rejoined the team for the second day of practice under new coach Nick Nurse after he had skipped both media day Monday at the team's facility in Camden, New Jersey, and the opening practice of training camp at CSU on Tuesday.
Over the past 48 hours, the 76ers had expressed hope and optimism that, at some point, this situation could be resolved.
To that end, Harden on Friday was paid the 25% of his contract he was scheduled to receive by Sunday, sources said, after already having received the 25% payment he was scheduled to receive July 1.
