Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is out on Sunday against the Spurs. He has a knee contusion, so his next chance to play will be Tuesday in Detroit. But with Joel Embiid (knee) also sidelined, Tyrese Maxey (hip) and Kelly Oubre Jr. should consume most of Philly's offensive opportunities.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Memphis. A bone bruise on his left knee took Harris out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Miami, and he was expected to miss one or two games. It looks like his absence could be limited to only one game, although it wouldn't be surprising to see Philadelphia keep him out of action on Saturday with another game against San Antonio coming up on Sunday night. Nicolas Batum logged 32 minutes as Harris' replacement in the starting unit on Thursday, finishing with zero points, four rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and one block.
Detroit Pistons forward Simone Fontecchio (toe) continues to deal with a toe contusion and has been ruled out for the 10th consecutive game. His last game was on March 17 against the Miami Heat. With only a little more than a week left in the season, we may not see him return, but that has not been officially reported just yet. The Pistons currently have the worst record in the league and the best odds at the number-one pick in the 2024 NBA Draft seem to be locked up. As Fontecchio has watched from the sidelines, Troy Brown Jr., Chimezie Metu, and Malachi Flynn have all been getting some added minutes down the stretch.
Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Cunningham was a late scratch on Wednesday and will sit out Friday's game as well. The expectation is that Malachi Flynn will start again with Cunningham on the bench. He dropped 50 points during his last game. He should be worth a look as a streaming option with the Pistons shorthanded.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) is expected to miss one or two games, a source has told The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey. After initially being questionable, Harris will miss Thursday's contest against Miami. He might then also be out for Sunday's matchup against Memphis. Nicolas Batum is looking at a fresh opportunity to start, with Kenyon Martin Jr. possibly also getting extra action. Meanwhile, Harris' absence should open up extra shots for Philadelphia's top guns, Kelly Oubre Jr., Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey.
