James Harden’s mugshot has been released stemming from his weekend arrest in Texas on a weapons charge.
TMZ obtained the mugshot from the Houston Police Department showing Harden staring down the camera. Understandably, the Cleveland Cavaliers guard looks a bit haggard as he poses.

Harden was arrested on Saturday for unlawfully carrying a weapon. Police allege he had an unholstered gun sitting in the passenger seat of his car, in plain view of officers. He has a June 22 court date for the charge, which is a misdemeanor.
Harden averaged 20.5 points and 7.7 assists for Cleveland in 26 games during the regular season. His playoff performances were a mixed bag and left a lot to be desired against the New York Knicks, but the Cavaliers certainly traded for the 36-year-old with the intention of keeping him around for at least another year or two.
The Cavaliers were expected to work to keep Harden on a new contract before his arrest. The allegations against him probably will not change that decision.
