With the departure of Paul George to the 76ers and ongoing knee issues for Kawhi Leonard, Harden is expected to take on a larger scoring role this season.

He feels he has a greater influence on the team’s chemistry during this training camp compared to previous years.

Harden stressed the importance of quickly improving the Clippers' chemistry as they work to catch up in their development.

Harden excelled at making pullup three-pointers last season, achieving a shooting percentage of 38.5%, the highest among players who attempted over 250 such shots.

James Harden is entering his 16th NBA season at the age of 35, boasting an impressive resume that includes being a 10-time All-Star and a three-time scoring champion.

Since leaving the Rockets, Harden has adopted a more realistic perspective regarding his championship aspirations with the Clippers.

He will have another opportunity to prove himself with the Los Angeles Clippers in the upcoming 2024-25 season.

Harden believes that the NBA has adjusted to his playing style, and he is now adapting accordingly, emphasizing that he is a player the league has to adjust to.

Last season, he averaged 16.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists while playing for the Clippers, who won 51 games.

Kris Dunn is expected to play a significant defensive role against Harden, indicating that the Clippers are preparing for how teams might defend them.

Despite his individual successes, Harden has yet to win an NBA championship, which remains his ultimate goal.

The Clippers will kick off their season on October 23 against the Phoenix Suns, marking their first regular-season game at the new Intuit Dome.
