Two weeks after being eliminated from the NBA playoffs, James Harden<\/a> was reportedly arrested in Houston, where he used to play, early Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

The California Post, citing court records, said the 11-time All-Star<\/a> was placed in custody on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful carrying of weapons.<\/p>\n

Harden allegedly “unlawfully, intentionally and knowingly” had a handgun in his vehicle, the records said, according to the outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firearm “was in plain view” and “not carried in a holster.”<\/p>\n

The outlet reported that Harden was at a local hookah lounge with friends before his arrest.<\/p>\n

Harden’s Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> were recently swept by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks are one win away from their first NBA title since 1973.<\/p>\n

Neither Houston Police nor the Cavaliers immediately responded to emails from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The Cavs acquired Harden in a trade with the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> to boost their playoff push, and they earned the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Harden averaged 20.5 points per game after the trade, understandably taking a back seat to Donovan Mitchell. He averaged 25.4 points per game in L.A., but the Clippers failed to make the playoffs, as they scored the sixth-fewest points per game in the NBA.<\/p>\n

The Post said Harden is due back in court on June 22 for arraignment.<\/p>\n

Harden played for the Houston Rockets<\/a> from 2012 until 2021, when he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets. He was named the MVP of the 2017-18 season and led the NBA in scoring each season from that year through 2019-20. In that span, he averaged nearly 34 points per contest.<\/p>\n
