Philadelphia 76ers free agent star James Harden has reached a two-year, $68.6 million deal to stay with the 76ers, ESPN first reported Wednesday.

The new deal pays him about $33 million this season with a $35 million player option for the 2023-24 season. The 10-time All-Star gave himself a pay cut, after having declined a $47.4 million player option for next season, wanting to give the 76ers salary-cap flexibility. 

 

Hornets' Bridges Pleads Not Guilty

The Charlotte Hornets’ Miles Bridges pled not guilty at arraignment Wednesday to felony domestic violence charges in Los Angeles County after he was accused of assaulting his girlfriend in front of their two children late last month.

District Attorney George Gascon said Tuesday that they’d filed one felony charge against Bridges of injuring a child’s parent and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death.
Bridges was arrested on June 29 and released on bond.
