“We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available,” the Cavs added. “At this time, we will have no further comment.”
Cleveland acquired the veteran guard at the trade deadline in February.
He averaged 19.2 points and 5.5 assists during the playoffs to help the Cavs reach the Eastern Conference finals, where they were swept by the New York Knicks.
He was the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder and starred with the Houston Rockets, earning MVP honours with them in 2018.
Harden, an 11-time All-Star, has also played with the Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers.
