James Harden is "giving renewed consideration" to re-signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.

Harden has long been expected to choose between the Sixers and the Houston Rockets.

Daryl Morey spent his first 15 months with the Sixers trying to trade for Harden soon after he left the Rockets.

Harden re-signed with the Sixers last offseason on a $68.1 million one-plus-one contract.
