In the third quarter of Saturday’s 126-119 win for the Philadelphia 76ers over the Denver Nuggets, there was a bizarre moment when James Harden was on the bench and ran onto the floor mid-play to help on the defensive end. He ended up getting a deflection.
The officials then realized what was going on and called the play dead. Philadelphia was hit with a technical foul for having only four men on the floor, It appears to have been a simple mistake by the Sixers.
Afterward, Harden’s former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate Serge Ibaka called Harden out, wondering what The Beard was doing on the play in question.
My brother! @JHarden13 what are you doing ? 🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/8hNgcH1p2m

Harden responded that there was some miscommunication, but he was obviously happy that the Sixers walked away with the win.
