Kristaps Porzingis leaves Dallas win vs. Pistons early with knee soreness

In an interview in Houston, James Harden was asked if he believes his relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers is beyond repair.

“I think so,” Harden replied.

Harden has been seeking a trade from the Sixers all offseason with the Los Angeles Clippers his preferred destination. After the Sixers leaked to the media that they have pulled him from the trade block, Harden responded by calling Daryl Morey “a liar.”

“I’ve been patient all summer,” Harden said when asked about how patient he will need to be. “For me, it’s just focus on what I can control and that’s working out, staying in shape, and getting ready for a good season.”

The Miami Heat will sign Cody Zeller.

Zeller appeared in 27 games last season with the Portland Trail Blazers. Zeller was waived by the Utah Jazz before the start of the season after appearing in three preseason games.
