The Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers agreed to a deal sending James Harden to Cleveland in exchange for Darius Garland, sources tell Sports Illustrated. The Clippers also receive a second-round pick in the deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The swap of former All-Star guards represents a significant shift for both teams. Harden, 36, has been a workhorse for the Clippers this season, averaging 25.4 points in 35.4 minutes per game. For the Cavaliers, he will pair with guard Donovan Mitchell in a win-now situation.
