The Sixers acquired the 33-year-old to help the franchise win a potential championship, alongside superstar Joel Embiid. However, according to recent reports, it seems like that plan of the Sixers might be on hold for the moment, as the 10-time NBA All-Star could possibly reunite with one of his former teams.

The Philadelphia 76ers are currently placed fifth in the Eastern Conference with a decent record of 17-12. Harden has performed well so far this season and is currently averaging 21.p points, 10.5 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game.

Trade rumors hint the potential return of James Harden to Texas

The team in question is none other than the Houston Rockets, which Harden left in the 2020-21 season because he felt he could no longer compete for a championship with the Rockets. However, recent reports have hinted that the 10-time All-Star could eye for a return to the Rockets.

Recently, ESPN’s NBA reporter Tim Macmahon made an appearance on the ‘Howdy Partner’ podcast. During the show, Macmahon gave some insights regarding the potential return of Harden to the Rockets. He said the Sixers guard could return to Texas during the 2023 free agency.
