Khloe Kardashian Causing James Harden To Play Bad? NBA Star Missing Girlfriend During Basketball Games

Khloe Kardashian is reportedly causing James Harden to play bad. According to a report from Hollywood Life, the NBA star is missing his girlfriend being around during his basketball games.

The Houston Rockets shooting guard supposedly understands that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star needs to help her estranged husband, Lamar Odom, to recover from a near fatal drug overdose. However, his time away from Khloe Kardashian has allegedly caused James Harden to not play very well.

"James knows Khloe has to be by Lamar's bedside," a source started.

"He doesn't want to be selfish, but he wants her to leave his bedside and sit courtside at his games. Khloe's his biggest cheerleader and he needs her now big time because his game is off."

"He's been playing miserable ball during the start of this season and the fans, even the ones at home, are letting him have it and it's not pretty," the source detailed.

Aside from affecting his performance during basketball games, James Harden is reportedly feeling very down because of Khloe Kardashian's setup with Lamar Odom.

"After a sh*tty day at work, all he wants to do is go home to Khloe so she can help cheer him up," a source shared about James Harden. "But instead, he goes to a hotel room alone."

"He's missing her big time now and his basketball game reflects that," the source added.

Prior to Lamar Odom's death scare, Khloe Kardashian and James Harden reportedly had a fight that involved the former Los Angeles Lakers star.

According to a previous report from Radar Online, the two was dragged into a cheating scandal with a Philadelphia stripper nicknamed "Nelly Wit Da Jelly," who uploaded an Instagram photo of her and James Harden in bed together.

"They had a terrible fight after Khloe confronted him and demanded the truth about who he's been seeing behind her back," an insider narrated.

"He threw it back in her face the fact that he knows she's been creeping around behind his back with her ex [Lamar]."

"James really put her in her place - she was the one calling all the shots, but she doesn't know what she wants: One week she wants his baby, the next she's having second thoughts about Lamar, then she wants to be exclusive, then she doesn't," the insider explained.
