Tobias Harris has become an easy punching bag for Sixers fans over the years. With the near-max deal he signed back in 2019, folks in Philly have not been afraid to share their displeasure when the veteran forward struggles.
That’s why head coach Nick Nurse’s choice to sit Harris for the final minutes of the Sixers’ 105-104 Play-In win over the Heat Wednesday has become a hot topic.
The bigger question becomes: will Nurse do it again in the Sixers’ first-round series against the Knicks?
“I really thought that the other night it just ended that way,” Nurse told reporters at the Sixers practice facility Friday.
