The Philadelphia 76ers have begun to attach Tobias Harris to their trade discussions of Ben Simmons, according to Brian Windhorst and Marc J. Spears of ESPN. Harris signed a five-year, $180 million deal with the 76ers during the 2019 offseason. “I’m hearing they want to include Tobias Harris,” said Spears of Philadelphia’s trade talks with the Atlanta Hawks. “Me too,” replied Windhorst. “That is the word out there because they can’t necessarily get an All-Star they want in return right now, as the Sixers have continued their talks, they’ve talked to teams about trading Tobias and Ben.”

I’m generally pretty skeptical of any trade rumors that get reported, but I trust absolutely zero Ben Simmons rumors. – 11:09 AM

Three @Philadelphia 76ers recorded at least 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in last night’s win over the Spurs:
✅ Joel Embiid (31/12/7)
✅ Seth Curry (23/7/7)
✅ Tobias Harris (23/7/5)
It’s the first time since Jan. 18, 1991 the franchise had three such players in a game. pic.twitter.com/xFg1OTuBjB10:21 AM
