According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Harden’s future with the 76ers is “very unclear.” Wojnarowski also says that a reunion with the Houston Rockets is “very much in play” for Harden after the end of the current season.
Harden enjoyed the best portion of his career in Houston, ascending to an MVP-level player and breaking several franchise records in the process. The former Oklahoma City Thunder sixth man blossomed into a superstar in Houston, so it makes sense that he may be looking at a return.
The sports world is reacting to the possibility to Harden heading back to Houston.
“If Philly win the chip, he’ll 1000% go back to Houston and chill,” one fan predicted. “Otherwise, not sure why else unless he’s content.”

“If there is any truth to it then bye bye. That would be a ridiculous decision but shows a lot about what Harden cares about,” another fan said.

“The real question is if you’re Houston what would you be willing to pay him and for how long,” another fan said. “I think at this point it really comes down to next month’s draft lottery.”

The Rockets have been looking for a new franchise star since Harden’s departure, and they may end up getting that same star back after only a few seasons.
