The photo, which began trending across platforms such as X, Facebook and TikTok within the past 48 hours, left fans questioning whether the All-Star guard had truly shaved off one of the most recognisable features in basketball. With no official confirmation from Harden or the Clippers, many are sceptical of the image's authenticity. So, did 'The Beard' really go beardless?
