Overview

  • Harden crossed the threshold early in the game on a coast-to-coast drive defended by Paul George, who was making his 2025-26 season debut.
  • The Clippers confirmed the achievement with a congratulatory post on X, noting Harden’s entry into the 28,000-point club.
  • He is the 11th player in NBA history to reach 28,000 points and one of three active players at that level alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
  • Harden sits 11th on the all-time scoring list and is fewer than 300 points from Carmelo Anthony’s total for a move into the top 10.
  • The milestone adds to Harden’s longevity profile deep into his 16th season.
