On the trade deadline, Harden was traded with Paul Millsap to Philly in exchange for Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, Ben Simmons, and several picks. All the players, except Harden and Simmons, already made their debuts with their new teams and the Beard is coming next.
After Minnesota, the 76ers travel to Madison Square Garden to play against the New York Knicks in the first game of a back-to-back. Harden’s debut in Wells Fargo Center will be on the 2nd of march.
The former MVP is averaging 22.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 10.2 assists per game in 37 minutes per game. Currently, the Sixers are third in the East with a 35-23 record and are expecting that the Harden addition takes them to the top seed of the conference and the team that will represent the East in the NBA finals.
