The Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons are anticipated to lead the pack in pursuing Tobias Harris during the upcoming NBA free agency period, according to insights from NBA insider Shams Charania on Stadium.

“I’m told the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons are expected to be the strongest suitors for (Tobias) Harris going into free agency,” Charania said.

Harris, who has been a cornerstone for the Philadelphia 76ers over the past six years, is poised to hit unrestricted free agency following the conclusion of his lucrative five-year, $180 million contract.

Throughout the recent season, Harris showcased his versatility and scoring prowess, averaging 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.

Detroit’s keen interest in Harris signifies their ambition to bolster their roster with a proven veteran who can contribute significantly on both ends of the court.

During his tenure with the 76ers, Harris has established himself as a reliable scorer and versatile forward, making him an attractive option for teams seeking to elevate their competitiveness.
