Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden spoke his mind about team president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, publicly calling the veteran executive a “liar” on Aug. 14.
Now, he reportedly will face consequences from the league for his actions.
The NBA fined Harden $100,000 Tuesday morning for his comments, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The fine is the maximum allowable under the new collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players for “statements prejudicial or detrimental to the best interests of basketball, the NBA, or a team,” per ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
