The NBA is investigating whether the Philadelphia 76ers’ free agency deals with star James Harden as well as P.J. Tucker and Danuel House violated league rules, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.
Philadelphia had room under the salary cap to bring in Tucker and House after Harden had declined his $47.4 million player option for the 2022-23 season, later re-signing with the team at a paycut of about $14 million for the coming season.ESPN reported that “there have been questions about whether there’s already a handshake agreement in place on a future contract” for Harden, which would violate rules laid down in the collective bargaining agreement.
The NBA implemented tougher penalties for tampering — illegally contacting or negotiating with free agents or future free agents — in 2019. Teams can be fined or stripped of draft picks for breaking the rules.
