James Harden to Re-Sign with Clippers on $81.5M Deal

James Harden will decline his $36.3M player option and re-sign with the Clippers on a two-year, $81.5M contract. The deal includes a player option and partial guarantee for Year 2, aligning his timeline with Kawhi Leonard.
Harden’s All-NBA season — featuring 22.8 PPG, 8.7 APG, and 129 step-back threes — helped the Clippers outperform expectations. His leadership and high availability made him the Clippers’ top priority, and the new contract keeps them competitive with mid-level exception flexibility.
