When the guard made the 100-pound claim, Harden’s teammate from Philadelphia, Joel Embiid, who was seated next to him during the news conference, could not control a grin.

Harden claimed that diets and muscle-building exercises assisted him in losing weight over the summer.

Although Harden’s weight as a player has not yet been recorded, it does seem like he shed weight before joining the 76ers for his first full season. He was part of a historic deal in February that involved the Nets.
