Tobias Harris Embraces Modified Role Alongside James Harden
3 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers power forward Tobias Harris spent the first half of the 2021-22 season as Philly's No. 2 scoring option, a role that has drastically changed upon the arrival of James Harden in the blockbuster deal with Brooklyn. But Harris, who has combined for 18 points on 5-for-18 shooting in two games alongside Harden thus far, isn't concerned about his changing role, saying via Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, "I've got to just be ready for whenever the opportunity comes my way and be OK with that. And I am." Harris, who has four 30-point performances under his belt this year, is looking at diminished offensive upside over the regular season's final six weeks. He has yet to reach the 20-point plateau across his last six outings, although he remains a solid producer of both rebounds (7.2 per game) and assists (3.6) as well.
