James Harden and the LA Clippers have been one of the biggest surprises of the early season. The Clippers are 14-10 and in the top-six in the Western Conference. Harden has helped drive that good start, despite LA being without some of their best players.
One key to that good start for Harden has been getting more sleep. Harden has reportedly committed to getting more sleep at night. While he’s still going and having a good time, those long nights are no longer stretching into early mornings for Harden.
The veteran star has also formed a bond with Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy. Harden has also encouraged his teammates to get in the gym to work with him more.
