James Harden’s gun case will not linger into the NBA season.

The misdemeanor unlawful carrying of weapons charge that the Cleveland Cavaliers guard had been hit with stemming from his June arrest was dropped on Thursday, according to court records viewed by the California Post.

Harris County, Texas prosecutors wrote in a motion to dismiss the case that they were seeking to dispose of the matter after Harden had completed an “alternative resolution agreement.”

A judge formally signed off on the motion just before 4 p.m. CT, the records show.

Messages seeking comment from Harden’s attorney as well as the Harris County District Attorney’s Office on Thursday were not returned.

Harden was taken into custody on June 13 by the Houston Police Department after the 11-time All-Star allegedly had an unholstered firearm in plain view in his vehicle during a routine traffic stop.

Harden never publicly commented on the arrest, though the Cavaliers said in a statement on the day of the incident that they were “aware” of the situation and were “in the process of gathering additional information.”

“We are in contact with James and his representation,” the team said, “and will continue to monitor developments as they become available. At this time, we will have no further comment.”

Harden spent nine seasons of his NBA career in Houston. He had played for the Clippers for over two years before joining Cleveland this past season.
