Only one former University of Tennessee basketball player was in action in the National Basketball Association Saturday night.
One other VFL, however, remained shelved, as he continues to miss games due to the league’s COVID-19 protocols.
The Philadelphia 76ers nabbed a 114-110 victory over Detroit at Little Caesars Arena.
Forward Tobias Harris started and played 34 minutes against the Pistons (3-13). Harris scored 17 points, pulled down four rebounds and had a pair of blocked shots.
He went 6-for-14 from the floor, including 3-for-5 from beyond the 3-point arc. The former Vol was perfect from the free throw line, going 3-for-3 for the 76ers (12-5), who overcame a 63-61 halftime deficit.
Meanwhile, in Dallas, the Mavericks dropped a 133-108 decision to the Houston Rockets at American Airlines Arena.
Former Volunteer Josh Richardson missed his eighth straight game as he remains out due to COVID-19 protocols.
