NBA superstar James Harden was arrested in Houston on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Harden, a former Los Angeles Clippers guard who now plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was accused of \u201cunlawfully, intentionally and knowingly\u201d having a handgun in his vehicle, according to a copy of the complaint.<\/p>\n

Authorities alleged in the document that \u201cthe handgun was in plain view\u201d and \u201cwas not carried in a holster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further details surrounding the allegations against Harden were not made immediately available, though sources told The Post that the basketball player was out a Houston hookah lounge before the arrest with a large group of friends.<\/p>\n

Harden was released on bond later Saturday morning, according to records. He\u2019s due back in court on June 22 for arraignment.<\/p>\n

Harden, who was traded from the Clippers to the Cavaliers in February in a swap that included Darius Garland, has plenty of ties to Houston.<\/p>\n

Following a trade to the Rockets from the Thunder in 2012, Harden played nine of his NBA seasons in the Texas city. He was an All-Star selection in each of his Rockets years, and in 2017-18, he won the league\u2019s MVP honors in a Houston uniform.<\/p>\n

Since his time with the Rockets, Harden\u2019s also played for the Nets, 76ers, Clippers and Cavaliers.<\/p>\n
