Based on ESPN insider Brian Windhorst, Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden was arrested Saturday and charged with a misdemeanor illegal carrying a weapon.
Per the report, Harden was taken into custody at 3:41 a.m. and booked at 4:57 a.m. He was launched on a $100 bond.
Harden reportedly had an unholstered gun in plain view on the seat of certainly one of his vehicles.
The Cavaliers have a choice to make about James Harden
That is an ongoing scenario, so Harden and the Cavaliers will most probably decline to remark for the time being.
However, the crew already had an enormous choice to make about him earlier than this incident, and this doubtless will not have an effect on the scenario within the slightest.
Harden can decline his $42 million participant choice to signal one other multi-year take care of the Cavaliers.
The Cavs acquired him in a commerce involving Darius Garland halfway by final season, hoping to maintain him round for a few years.
Nonetheless, after imploding within the playoffs once more and given Harden’s lengthy historical past of postseason shortcomings, the entrance workplace could wish to reassess the crew’s roster, together with its star guard.
The Cavaliers are already dedicated to bringing again coach Kenny Atkinson and can most probably give Donovan Mitchell a contract extension, so they are going to doubtless preserve Harden as properly.
Whether or not that is the suitable transfer to get this crew over the hump and again to the NBA Finals is a special dialogue.
