James Harden has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. The young Serbian was part of the package that helped the Philadelphia 76ers trade away one of their two biggest stars.

Petrusev was traded to the Clippers alongside PJ Tucker. In return, Philadelphia received Marcus Morris, Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington, KJ Martin, a 2028 unprotected first-round pick, two second-round picks, and a pick swap.

Petrusev has played in only one NBA game so far, appearing on the court against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 29th. In three minutes on the court, the 23-year-old big man did not attempt a single shot and grabbed one rebound.

After blossoming in Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade last season, Petrusev decided to pursue his NBA dream this year. The 76ers had drafted Petrusev with the 50th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
