The Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday confirmed they are reviewing details surrounding guard James Harden’s arrest in Texas on a misdemeanor weapons charge.
“The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information,” the team said in a statement. “We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment.”
TMZ Sports first reported that Harden, 34, was taken into custody early Saturday after police allegedly discovered a handgun inside his vehicle. The report states the weapon was visible and not secured in a holster, leading to a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon. Harden was released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 22.
The 11-time All-Star arrived in Cleveland in a February trade and helped the Cavaliers reach the Eastern Conference Finals this season.
The organization said it will refrain from additional remarks until more information is available.
