(2nd UPDATE) James Harden will now be heading back home to Los Angeles.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to trade the 6-foot-5 guard to the LA Clippers.

Wojnarowski later reported that Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, and Kenyon Martin Jr. are the players that the Clippers dealt in exchange for the former Sixth Man of the Year.

Los Angeles is also sending Philadelphia a 2028 unprotected first-round pick, two second-round picks, and a pick swap.

A yet-to-be-determined team will also be a part of the deal and will send an additional first-round pick to the Sixers, who will be waiving Danny Green to clear a roster spot.

Meanwhile, PJ Tucker and Filip Petrusev are set to don the Clippers’ jersey alongside Harden as part of the trade.

The former NBA MVP, who tallied numbers of 21.0 points, 10.7 assists, and 6.1 rebounds last year for Philadelphia, has sat out the 76ers’ first three games of the 2023-2024 season.

The Sixers won two out of their three games over that span.

Harden will be joining fellow Angelenos and former teammate Russell Westbrook, former Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, and All-Star swingman Paul George as they hope to finally bring home a title for LAC.

Harden, a 10-time All-Star who has won three NBA scoring titles, had yet to play for Philadelphia this season after requesting a move in June and then voicing his frustration publicly when trade talks fell through.

The trade ends the standoff between Harden and the 76ers, who are looking to bring in another elite guard to partner with reigning MVP Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Harden had been at odds with 76ers team president Daryl Morey over wanting a long-term contract.

After opting into a one-year deal with the expectation of being traded, no deal for Harden materialized, leaving him calling Morey a liar and saying the ruptured relationship could never be mended. -- With a report from Agence France-Presse.
