Because the biggest NBA reporter reported it (Woj), unless you want to call him a liar
. John Wall also played with Harden all offseason and said that Harden will play. Those are his words. And besides, this conversation is about Houston not doing anything for him which is a lie lol. They have gotten rid of his costar 3 times because he didn't get along with them, got rid of a coach for him. Have built a roster completely around him so he can get his stats. They literally traded away every single asset to get Westbrook because he didn't want to play with Chris Paul. He fukked over the franchise and is not even professional enough to call them back. Not sure how anyone can excuse what he is doing right now, not only is he acting reckless with a whole virus going on, he is making it harder for a new coach and new teammates. He can ask for a trade and play till he gets traded.
