Later on in the evening, with over 2,000 fans in attendance, Harden and adidas hosted, “Uno Fest,” to celebrate the Clippers star, including a performance by rapper Gali.
This continues what has been an eventful offseason for James Harden, who signed a new, two-year, $81.5 million deal to return to the LA Clippers at the start of free agency. Taking that deal allowed the Clippers to utilize their full mid-level exception, valued at $14 million.
Through that, the Clippers first signed Brook Lopez to a two-year, $18 million deal. That was followed up by a two-year, $10.6 million signing of Bradley Beal, who reached a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns just days prior.
Harden and Beal, who have been close friends during their time in the NBA, spoke multiples times throughout the process with Harden championing the Clippers as the perfect destination for Beal to bounce back from a couple of difficult seasons in Phoenix.
James Harden will continue his adidas China tour through August 6th before returning to the U.S.
