Wojnarowski writes Harden and his representatives are contemplating a reunion with the Rockets, despite the fact he requested a trade from Houston less than two years ago.

Harden’s two-year $68.6 million deal with the Sixers has a player option for 2023-24 that allows him to become a free agent this summer.

The Rockets are expected to have significant salary cap space this summer.

Houston traded Harden, 33, to the Brooklyn Nets in January 2021.

The Nets then dealt Harden to the 76ers in a blockbuster deal this past February.

In eight-plus seasons with the Rockets, Harden won three scoring titles and was NBA MVP in 2017-18.

Harden is averaging 21.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 10.9 assists this season for a Sixers team (19-12) that has won seven in a row.

The Sixers face the New York Knicks on Christmas Day at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT on Sportsnet and SN NOW.
