It’s been three weeks since James Harden opted into his $35.6 million player option for next season with the intent of getting traded away from the 76ers. While the former MVP remains on the team’s roster, he hasn’t spoken publicly on the issue since the reports of the trade request came out.
That is, until today—well, sort of.
Harden appeared to address the situation with the Sixers with a cryptic post on his Instagram story, where he shared an image of a black background with white text that simply read: “Been comfortable for so long. It’s time to get uncomfortable.”
