James Harden vanished from Ball Arena without saying a word after the Clippers’ crushing 120-101 Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets — and now he might be facing more than just a long offseason.
Under NBA rules, players are required to be available for postgame media sessions. Harden’s silent exit could earn him a fine, similar to the $25,000 Dillon Brooks received for skipping interviews or the $35,000 slapped on Kyrie Irving and the Nets.
But fans and analysts aren’t just demanding fines — they want action. After a rollercoaster season and a quiet postseason exit, many are calling for the Clippers to move on from Harden altogether. “He’s not a winning player,” one fan wrote on X. “Time to trade him.”
With the Clippers now out of the playoffs and Harden dodging accountability, the pressure’s on — both from the league office and from within his own locker room.
