The Return of a Local Hero: Tobias Harris Signs with the Pistons for Two Years

The Pistons have announced the signing of Tobias Harris on a two-year, $52 million deal. After spending over five years with the Sixers, Harris is returning to his former team in Detroit. During his time with the Sixers, Harris averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game and made his mark in franchise history with 575 made three-pointers.

However, despite some solid regular seasons and strong playoff performances, Harris ultimately fell short of helping the Sixers achieve their championship aspirations. His time in Philadelphia was marked by mixed results as the team failed to advance past the second round of the playoffs during his tenure.

As he heads back to Detroit, Harris will be joining a young Pistons team led by players like Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson. The team finished with the worst record in the NBA last season at 14-68 but are looking to rebuild and develop their young talent.

Throughout his time with the Sixers, Harris served as a mentor to younger players like Tyrese Maxey and Ricky Council IV. Council expressed his gratitude for Harris’ guidance and professionalism, acknowledging the impact the veteran forward had on his development both on and off the court.

Harris’ return to Detroit will bring a sense of familiarity and excitement for fans who remember him from his early years with the team before he joined
