NBA superstar James Harden was arrested early Saturday morning in Houston, Harris County court records show.

Harden was booked into the Harris County Jail just before 5 a.m. on one count of unlawful carrying of a weapon, a class A misdemeanor. He was released on a $100 bond less than 2 hours later. 

Class A misdemeanors in Texas have a maximum sentence of one year in county jail. Harden has a court appearance scheduled for 9 a.m. on Monday, June 22, records show.

The criminal complaint, filed in Harris County Criminal Court at Law, alleges that Harden was illegally carrying an unholstered handgun in his vehicle. The court records do not contain any information on how Houston police officers found the gun, where the arrest occurred or other details surrounding the case. CBS News Texas has reached out to the Houston Police Department for more information.

Harden's 17th NBA season came to an end last month after his Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers traded for Harden in February from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Harden played for the Houston Rockets from 2012-2020, and court documents list his home address as an apartment building a few blocks from the Toyota Center, the Rockets' home arena.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers are aware of the arrest of James Harden this morning and are in the process of gathering additional information," the team said in a statement to the Associated Press. "We are in contact with James and his representation and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment."

A message sent to Harden's representatives from The Associated Press seeking comment was not immediately returned.
