James Harden’s Awkward Entrance into Clippers’ Locker Room Had NBA Fans Making Lots of Jokes

While the James Harden trade isn’t officially official just yet, the former Sixers guard arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday night and spent some time with his new teammates and watched the Clippers beat the Magic at Crypto.com Arena.

Harden, who finally got his wish for a one-way ticket out of Philadelphia in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, was seen meeting with Clippers owner Steve Ballmer upon arriving at the arena. He then made his way to the team’s locker room, where he ran into his old teammate, Russell Westbrook, and was later seen sitting next to Paul George.
