James Harden #13 of the Brooklyn Nets handles the ball during the first half of the NBA game at Footprint Center on February 01, 2022 in Phoenix, Arizona. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia 76ers will formally introduce James Harden to the media and fans on Tuesday.The team will be hosting an introductory press conference at their Camden, New Jersey training complex at noon to introduce Harden and veteran forward Paul Millsap. Both players were acquired ahead of last week’s trade deadline in a deal with the Brooklyn Nets that sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond, and two first-round picks to the Nets. You can watch their introductory press conference live on FOX 29 and FOX29.com. While Curry and Drummond made their Nets debut on Monday night – with Simmons in attendance on the bench – Harden is not expected to take the court for the Sixers until after the upcoming All-Star break. The Sixers are still eager to test out the partnership between Harden, a 32-year-old former MVP, and Joel Embiid. The 76ers are getting an MVP-worthy year out of Embiid, and team President Daryl Morey — who was in the front office with Houston when Harden played for the Rockets — made the deadline deal to ensure the Sixers have plenty for the championship push.Embiid leads the league in scoring with 29.4 points and has scored at least 25 points in 30 straight games.
