Harden a mărturisit că a participat la o petrecere, dar neagă că filmările au fost făcute într-un club de noapte. Harden ar fi trebuit să joace, miercuri seară, împotriva formaţiei Oklahoma City Thunder, dar jocul a fost amânat din cauza unui număr mare de infecţii cu coronavirus în echipa din Houston. Rockets nu avea suficienţi jucători disponibili pentru a disputa partida, conform protocoalelor sanitare ale NBA.
