On November 19, the NBA regular season continues. In the recent period, Clippers star Harden has performed exceptionally well, but the Clippers have performed poorly. Regarding Harden's current situation, many people are calling for him to return to the Rockets.

So far this season, Harden has played a total of 13 times, averaging 36.2 minutes per game, averaging 26.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks, shooting 43.6% from the field and 37.6% from three-point range. It is worth mentioning that many of Harden's statistics have set new highs since leaving the Rockets. However, the Clippers currently have only 4 wins and 10 losses, temporarily ranking fourth from the bottom in the Western Conference. Especially in the past 9 games, the Clippers have lost eight of them.

Regarding the situation between the Clippers and Harden, the famous NBA reporter Nate Jones said: "Harden's most suitable role right now is the core of the organization, without having to bear the burden of scoring. If the Clippers continue to decline, I really think it would be great for him to return to the Rockets. It would be a quite exciting story."

Felton, a former NBA player and current commentator, also recently said: "Harden should return to the Rockets. I think this matter can be solved." Harden has a house in Houston and will stay here for a few days, and then we will finalize the deal. Because the Clippers have Zubac, they don't need Shen Jing. The Rockets will keep Shen Jing, send away Jabari Smith Jr., Shepard, and add some other players. "

It should be noted that not only is the Clippers' current situation bad, their draft picks for next year also belong to the Thunder. In addition, the Clippers' road trip is not over yet. They will next have consecutive away games against the Magic, Hornets, Cavaliers, and Lakers. Leonard is currently out due to injury, Bill is out for the season, and Jones Jr. and others are also suffering from injuries.

Do you think it is feasible for Harden to return to the Rockets? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment area.
