Transferred from the Nets to the Sixers on the day of the NBA Trade Deadline, James Harden will be able to start a new chapter in his career (hoping it will be longer than the previous one…). The date of his big debut alongside Joel Embiid? It remains to be defined but it is not impossible that it will be the field next Tuesday.
James Harden in a Philly jersey with Joel Embiid is a reality. Well, not quite yet because Ramesse won’t be playing until next week. Indeed, as Tim Bontemps ofESPNthe Barbu will land in Philadelphia this weekend and will therefore not be in uniform once morest the Cavaliers this Saturday. However, there’s a way he’ll make his big debut on Tuesday once morest Boston. For this, he will have to receive the green light from the team’s doctors because it is recalled that the man has not played a single basketball game since February 2 because of a “bobo” in the hamstrings. We put bobo in quotes because with the mess of the last few days, we can ask ourselves some questions regarding the degree of seriousness of this injury. “He has just been transferred, he is in good health now” downright swung Charles Barkley during the All-Star Game Draft. We won’t go that far, but if he were to return to the pitch on Tuesday, Chuck’s theory would suddenly make more sense. In any case, fake injury or not, we necessarily want to see Harden as soon as possible with Philly, just to see what his duet with Jojo can give. And if it’s once morest a historical rival and especially a team in full swing like the Celtics (seven wins in a row, second best NBA defense please), we sign right away!
In the event that James Harden’s big debut is delayed a little more, it will be necessary to wait at least next Thursday and a match once morest the defending champions in Milwaukee. The Sixers will next face the Wolves and Knicks over the weekend. Arrived at this time, we should have had a small glimpse of this new version Philly team, a team which will obviously aim for the title this season. There will necessarily be a period of adaptation because adding a player of the caliber and style of play of Harden is obviously not trivial. A lot of things are likely to change in particular for a certain Tyrese Maxey, the sophomore who took advantage of the absence of Ben Simmons to achieve a pure season alongside Jojo. However, the youngster is confident regarding Ramesse’s integration.
” It’ll be super. We’re talking regarding two MVP-caliber players, in addition to what we already have. What will help us is the chemistry and the brotherhood that we have here. It’s easy to onboard someone when you have continuity like ours. The guys like each other and like to be together, we like to tell each other things and play hard for each other. So we will try to make the transition as easy as possible. »
See you potentially on Tuesday for James Harden’s big debut with the Sixers. Prepare the popcorn, it’s going to be crazy!
