James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers are getting ready to start the second round of the NBA playoffs after sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in the first series of this year’s postseason.
The Beard is having some free days before going back to duty, and it seems like he was involved in controversies with somebody. A recent video shows the 2018 NBA MVP arguing with somebody outside a Las Vegas casino and smacking this person.

Of course, it’s unclear what they were saying, but it looked like Harden lost his patience and put his hands on this man. They were surrounded by other people, presumably to prevent this situation from escalating, especially after the veteran guard slapped this man’s face.
Harden has been famous for his love of strip clubs and being a regular partygoer. Details about this altercation remain undisclosed, but hopefully, this situation didn’t get any more serious.
NBA players have been dealing with this type of situation all season long, including Ja Morant and his gun scandal at a strip club. We hope that this wasn’t anything big and the player and his ‘rival’ could make things up.
TMZ Sports reports that Harden argued with a member of his crew, but in the end, nothing severe happened between them.
“James Harden didn’t exactly use at least one of his days off between NBA playoff series for relaxation … TMZ Sports has learned the 76ers star was involved in a dispute with a man outside of a Las Vegas hotel and casino earlier this week.
“According to video we obtained, Harden was at an entrance to the Flamingo on the Strip at around 1:25 AM on Monday — just two days after Philadelphia won its opening-round playoff series over the Nets in Brooklyn — when he got into an argument.”
Fortunately, things didn’t escalate, and Harden and this man kept doing their thing without any further issues.
James Harden And Philadelphia 76ers Get Ready To Face Boston Celtics
This situation comes days before the player faces the Boston Celtics in the second round of the playoffs. This series has everything to be a great one, even with Joel Embiid playing through an injury.
He and Harden are expected to take the Sixers to the promised land, but the challenge will be incredibly hard against Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and co.
Hopefully, his focus is completely on the game and nothing else. The Sixers could see Harden walk away this summer if they don’t make it past this round, which makes this series even more important.
