Sixers forward Tobias Harris to return, starting in matchup vs. Jazz

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris will return in this matchup with the Utah Jazz.

The Philadelphia 76ers are ending the first half of the season with a prime-time matchup with the Utah Jazz at home on Wednesday. The two teams sit atop their respective conferences and they are both looking to build some momentum heading into the All-Star break.

The Sixers will be looking to make a statement against a really terrific team in Utah and they are getting a very important piece back in the lineup in the form of Tobias Harris.

Harris has missed Philadelphia’s previous two games after he suffered a right knee contusion on Feb. 25 against the Dallas Mavericks. The Sixers went 1-1 without their versatile scorer as they fell flat against the Cleveland Cavaliers before routing the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

The Sixers lost their first matchup with the Jazz on the road back on Feb. 15 despite a career-high 42 points from Ben Simmons. Now that Harris is back and Joel Embiid is set to go, they will have a healthy team for this go-around with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
