James Harden of the Houston Rockets doubled down on his rumored trade request in his postgame press conference following Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers. Harden’s comments are preceded by a well-documented saga that has captured headlines since the outset of the 2020-21 season.
Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610, a Houston-based station, shared a video of Harden’s quotes just before leaving the stand—mentioning that Harden’s remarks felt like a clear push for a trade.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski later reported that the Rockets have not found a trade destination for Harden.
