It's unclear at this time whether Lil Baby is being charged with anything.
Harden's season came to an end in mid-June when the Bucks defeated the Nets in seven games to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Rockets traded the 31-year-old early in the NBA season, where he averaged nearly 25 points and 11 assists per game while playing alongside Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
