Harden recently cleared out the air about him being rumored to have tested positive for COVID-19. The former NBA MVP told reporters that his failure to join the Rockets last week was due to “family issues,” and not a positive test for the virus.
Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated tweeted out about Harden’s personal statement on the issue.

A couple of days ago, his Rockets co-star Russell Westbrook personally announced on social media that he has contracted the virus. This prompted a circulation of rumors that Harden may have also tested positive, especially considering that he was yet to be seen in the bubble at that time.
But Rockets fans heaved out a sigh of relief when Harden recently made his much-awaited appearance on the bubble. Harden, an eight-time All-Star, is leading the league in scoring with 34.4 points per game.
