As the Philadelphia 76ers prepared for opening night at the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, their star guard returned to the team on Wednesday.
James Harden, who had been away from the Sixers since Oct. 15 due to a personal matter, returned to the team on Wednesday for practice. The Beard is waiting for his trade request to be fulfilled, but it appears that for now, he is back with the team.
Harden has been a true professional throughout this entire process and his absence away from the team has been excused as to the personal matter. It remains to be seen if he will play on Thursday against the Bucks.

If Harden were to play on Thursday, it would be a bit of a dramatic turn following recent events, but his presence would, obviously, help the Sixers. He is one of the elite playmakers in the league and can help Philadelphia right away.
