James Harden reports being out of shape for Cavaliers training camp

Cavaliers guard James Harden stated he arrived at training camp out of shape, revealing he barely played basketball over the summer. Currently, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a 6-6 record this season, against expectations for a team that reached the Conference Finals last year. Harden acknowledged he needs time to adjust to the pace of play, noting that he felt he would be slower given his offseason inactivity. His current performance statistics reflect a decline, averaging 16.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over 12 games. The Cavaliers are under pressure to improve their standings and need Harden to regain his form quickly.
