In case you didn’t know…
Harris has enjoyed solid spells with the Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, and Detroit Pistons, although his move to the LA Clippers back in 2018 propelled his status in the league. Over 87 appearances, Harris averaged 20.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.9 assists, while also shooting 43% from beyond the arc.
Harris earned a move the Sixers ahead of the February trade deadline, although the forward struggled to reach his previous heights in Philadelphia, averaging 18.2 points and 7.9 rebounds over 27 regular-season appearances.
The heart of the matter
Bringing back Harris made sense for the Sixers after the team lost Butler, although there is no doubting the fact that the team would have preferred to retain the former.
Harris’ fit in Philadelphia remains questionable, and the front office will be expecting the forward to live up to his All-Star potential this season. However, if he fails to do so, it won’t be surprising to see Harris shopped ahead of the trade deadline.
What’s next?
The Sixers will tip off their season on Oct. 23, at the Wells Fargo Center against the Boston Celtics.
