NBA fines James Harden $100k for 76ers comments

The NBA last week launched an inquiry into the circumstances around Harden's comments on Aug. 14 and 17. 

The investigation found that the comments stemmed from Harden's belief that the team would not accommodate his trade request, the NBA said in a statement.

An interview with Harden was part of the investigation. 

The shooting guard's comments that he would never be part of an organization that included Morey played a bigger part in the fine, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
