NBA teams have gotten back to work of late and, at this time of the year it's normal to see players who aren't yet at their physical best after the off-season.
James Harden was one of those last season, appearing for the Houston Rockets' pre-season training quite noticeably overweight, leading to images that caused a lot of controversy around him ahead of his trade to the Brooklyn Nets.
Once he got his move, though, he quickly got back into shape and moved beyond those pre-season doubts.
Now, though, The Beard is facing the same problem. A photo from his first pre-season game this year has shown that he is once again overweight.
Harden's personal management of his physical condition has become a recurring discussion, and one that has left many frustrated.
