James Harden has not been present with the Philadelphia 76ers for any team activities since Sunday, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic. The Sixers expected Harden to return for Thursday's practice.

Harden has been in Houston since leaving the team. Harden continues to push for a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers, but talks have continued to be slow to develop.

The Sixers begin the regular season next Thursday.
