It is no secret that newly acquired Cleveland Cavaliers star James Harden and American rapper Travis Scott share a close bond with each other. The two have often shown support for each other’s works over the years. Harden even starred in Scott’s ‘Way Back’ music video.
On Saturday night, Scott made an appearance courtside and embraced the 11-time NBA All-Star, who was making his debut for the Cavs. It was a hard-fought win for the Cavs as they recorded a 132-126 victory over a struggling Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center.
It was the third win in a row for the Cavs as they continue their impressive form since the turn of the year. The win propelled them 32-21 as they find themselves in fourth place in a wide-open Eastern Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Kings are now on a 12-match losing streak and remain at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.
The NBA world was in shock when reports began circulating that James Harden was on his way out of the Los Angeles Clippers at the trade deadline. After a horrid start to the 2025-26 campaign, both on and off the court, Harden and Kawhi Leonard turned the season around by winning 17 of their last 22 games.
While they were far from being championship contenders in the West, things did seem to be headed in the right direction for the Clippers. However, Harden was traded to the Cavs for Darius Garland and a second-round pick. Following the trade, Harden’s trade to the east was subtly dissed by Philadelphia 76ers GM Daryl Morey as not being a needle mover.
The former MVP looked in high spirits on his debut and was crashed by Travis Scott during his post-match interview. The rapper was fired up after what he witnessed from his friend. Scott jumped in, grabbed the microphone, and hijacked the interview.
After one game, we’re going to the young. DM (Donovan Mitchell), JH (James Harden)… What the f**k!?

Donovan Mitchell and Harden couldn’t help but laugh as Scott left the scene as quickly as he had arrived. This is Harden’s fifth club in the last six seasons as he continues his search for a maiden NBA Championship. While Morey may not see the trade as a needle mover, the Cavs will fancy their chances after acquiring a talented and experienced player like Harden.

If this doesn’t show you how excited the squad is, nothing will. Travis Scott acting like he just got signed to the roster himself while Harden tries to stay professional is hilarious. 😂 Between Donovan Mitchell’s comments and this vibe, you can tell the chemistry in that locker…

Fans were happy to see Scott excited for his friend and joked that the ‘Goosebumps’ rapper was included in the trade package with Harden.
James Harden makes triumphant debut as Cavs down Kings
Harden was named in the starting lineup without taking part in any practice session with his new teammates. The game was anything but straightforward as the Cavs were down by three heading into the fourth quarter.

Mitchell led all scorers with 35 points. Harden looked right at home as he poured in 23 points and handed out eight assists in 32 minutes. He was efficient as well, as he went 7-of-13 from the field, knocked down 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, and converted all four of his free throws.
It was a slow start to the game for the guard, but he came alive down the stretch to help set off a game-ending 18-5 run. Prior to his trade, Harden was averaging 25.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 8.1 assists in 44 appearances for the Clippers.
