Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden was involved in an altercation with a man outside a Las Vegas hotel and casino earlier this week, according to TMZ Sports. The NBA star was seen slapping a member of his entourage and police confirmed there were no complaints filed.
Harden, 33, and the man involved reportedly went on about their night without further incidents and acted as if nothing happened.
The video obtained by TMZ Sports shows Harden arguing with a man outside Flamingo on the Strip at around 1:30 on Monday morning.
It's unclear if Harden was partying, gambling or at a studio, but it occurred two nights after Philly eliminated the Brooklyn Nets with a gentleman's sweep in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

Harden's repútation of partying makes this situation even worse than it is, but it's unlikely that he'll face any punishment from the league, especially because no complaint was filed.
The video shows Harden make visual contact with the person recording, who tries to act cool.
TMZ Sports reports that sources who were present at the entrance of the hotel claim Harden knew he was being recorded.
Maybe that's just how Harden gets along with his friends, but what would have happened if he didn't know he was being recorded?
