The NBA has very strict COVID-19 policies that they look to enforce for the entirety of this season. Any violation of these policies would result in suspension. The suspension could last for a number of days, depending on what the league sees fit.

A video of James Harden at a strip club has surfaced yet again, ahead of the Houston Rockets’ season opener against the OKC Thunder.

Is James Harden trying his best not to play, out of spite?

It is of course very clear that James Harden wants out of Houston as soon as possible. Every recent story about Harden has been about him doing something that negatively affects the team.

He understands that he is under contract and so could be acting out in ways that will force him to be traded elsewhere. It would be quite surprising if the Rockets finish this season off with Harden still on the team.
