Before their season opening against Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks, the NBA 76ers advise Harden to stay at home

The Philadelphia 76ers' season opening against the Milwaukee Bucks will not feature James Harden. Harden, who has been attempting to get traded out of Philadelphia, missed practice last week due to a "personal matter" and did not participate in the preseason. After all, he was able to rejoin the squad on Wednesday. However, he has been informed that he will not be permitted to travel to Milwaukee in order to play the Bucks. Harden's arrival was confirmed by Sixers coach Nick Nurse, but he is not a part of the team's preparation for the Milwaukee game. NBA MVP and two-time scoring champion Joel Embiid takes on Milwaukee's two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo in the opening game.
