The Sixers suffered a 129-100 thrashing against the Nets on Friday but that didn’t stop James Harden from having a party with his close friends towards the end of the night
James Harden recently forced a move away from the Brooklyn Nets to join the Philadelphia 76ers. So when the Nets were at the Wells Fargo Center, he was tipped to drop a noteworthy display against his former side.
However, Harden put in a less than impressive display for Doc Rivers’ team, shooting 3-17 from the field. With just 11 points to his name, the 10-time All-Star failed to get going as his former team won by a margin of nearly 30 points at the final whistle.
Nevertheless, Harden’s bad night lasted only on the court as he was later seen partying with close friends Lil Baby, Travis Scott and Meek Mill at a famous restaurant in New York City.
James Harden hangs out with close friends after Sixers’ heavy defeat vs Nets
Harden joined the two rappers for a friend’s birthday party and the trio looked to be having a great time. The former Nets star clearly didn’t look too stressed with his team’s loss earlier that night.
‘The Beard’ has been spotted with Lil Baby a number of times in the past. They were together for Paris Fashion Week during the offseason and the NBA star also gifted the musician a bag full of money for his birthday. Harden spent nearly a decade with the Houston Rockets and got pally with Lil Baby, a Houston local, over the years.
Harden is also close with Travis Scott and the duo has partied together before as well. The former Rockets man starred in one of the rappers’ music videos back in 2017.
While Harden seemed to be enjoying himself after the Sixers’ loss, one can only imagine what Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid made of the news.
