James Harden said he sees no way his relationship with 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey can be repaired on Friday, but added his play 'is to play basketball.'

"I'll ramp it up and try to play the last one just to get myself in game situations and get used to the physicality of defenders bumping you and what not," Harden said."The speed, the tempo, all that good stuff. So I think we've got a good plan in place."
Throughout, however, he has made it clear his disdain for Morey doesn't extend to the team's new head coach, Nick Nurse, who replaced Doc Rivers earlier this offseason.
