A 29-point triple-double from James Harden in his one previous Sixers appearance at Madison Square Garden.
A career-high 23-for-27 outing at the foul line for Joel Embiid in that game, too.

DeMar DeRozan told me several years ago before a Raptors-Clippers game that he wants a @DrewLeague championship at some point… he’s come close, most notably losing in 2015 with Nick Young vs James Harden and LAUNFD.
He’s back now to try to get one in 2022 with MMV Cheaters. pic.twitter.com/HoIDGOQWdy – 9:04 PM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Durant, Harden apparently ‘back on good terms,’ but does that change KD trade talks? nba.nbcsports.com/2022/08/13/dur… – 1:18 PM David Hardisty @clutchfans

More on this storyline

ClutchPoints: “From what I’m told, the two former teammates are back on good terms now despite Harden forcing his way out of Brooklyn.” @ramonashelburne on the Sixers’ reported interest in trading for Kevin Durant. -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / August 13, 2022 “It’s pretty crazy. Things go fast,” Joerger said. “Before you even get to the changes, I think you get to the fact that James Harden, Joel Embiid, and other guys did not have a lot of time together. Our core has had two years together – Tyrese , Tobias – and Joel and Tobias have been together for a number of years, we get that. But to add a guy who has the ball as much as James does, especially with Joel, that’s only going to get better as more time is spent together.” -via NBA.com / August 10, 2022 The head of basketball ops from another club was similarly displeased. “Livid,” he said. “Livid. He and Kyrie (Irving) basically told Sean they were coming (as free agents in 2019), and Sean did pretty much everything they wanted after that. Signing DeAndre Jordan for four years? That’s something Kyrie and KD wanted. Getting James Harden? Then getting a guy who should be a perfect complement to them (Ben Simmons) when Harden wanted out? Sean did all that.” -via Heavy.com / August 9, 2022
