New on SI: NBA Rumors: Sixers Continuing Pursuit of James Harden

Stay up to date with the latest NBA news and rumors ahead of the 2020 NBA draft on Wednesday night.

James Harden reportedly has his eyes

set on a reunion with Kevin Durant in Brooklyn in 2020-21, but the Nets may not be the only team pursuing the three-time scoring champion. 

The 76ers' interest in Harden has reportedly "grown in recent weeks," though it's unclear whether the Sixers would part with Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid in a potential trade, according to The Athletic's Kelly Iko and David Aldridge. Rapper Meek Mill and billionaire Michael Rubin are among those attempting to pitch Harden on a new home in Philadelphia, per Iko and Aldridge. 

Harden could still begin 2020-21 with the Rockets as they evaluate their trade options. His eventual destination is the biggest mystery remaining.
