James Harden is "ecstatic" to finally be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

Harden was hoping to fly to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and could attend Tuesday's game when the Clippers host the Orlando Magic.

Harden requested a trade from the Sixers after he opted into his $35.6 million contract for the 23-24 season.

Harden, like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook, grew up in Southern California.
