Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden is arrested in Houston, Texas, on Saturday on a misdemeanor weapons charge. Multiple outlets citing Harris County court records say authorities took Harden into custody early Saturday morning after an unconcealed handgun was found in his vehicle. Accounts describe the weapon as visible and not holstered in his Mercedes. Harden is reported to have acknowledged the gun was his. He is booked into jail and released shortly afterward on bond. The charge is described as unlawful carrying of a weapon, and his court obligations include a scheduled court appearance on June 22. Reporting also indicates the bond terms restrict Harden from possessing firearms, ammunition, or other weapons. The Cleveland Cavaliers say they are aware of the arrest and are gathering additional information, while they remain in contact with Harden and his representatives. The incident is reported as separate from any NBA game activity, and sources consistently frame it as a misdemeanor matter in Houston municipal or county court.
