James Harden on his retirement: 'We’ll see what happens in coming years'

Following a victory over his former squad, the Brooklyn Nets, the veteran discussed his playing future with clarity. He acknowledges the end is looming, hoping to delay it, yet accepts the inevitable reality professional athletes face. For now, he prioritizes staying fit and cherishing each and every match. On the court, however, Harden shows absolutely no signs of slowing down. He is currently averaging 24.5 points, his highest since 2021, alongside 8.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds. Recently, he neared a triple-double with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, cementing his role as the linchpin for the Cavs, who are 7-1 since acquiring him.

Before eventually walking away, one major objective remains: capturing an elusive NBA title. With this Cleveland team, a serious run at the Finals appears entirely within their reach.
