Misfortune has seemingly been following Team USA this summer. Following two straight underwhelming performances and exhibition losses, Bradley Beal entered health and safety protocols, sidelining him for the entirety of the Olympic Games. Sixers’ star Tobias Harris could replace him.
According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Team USA is gauging the availability of Harris as the next call-up.
The United States men’s basketball team inquired Thursday about 76ers forward Tobias Harris’ availability to replace Bradley Beal in the Tokyo Olympics.
Following Beal’s sudden absence, USA was going to be in desperate need for consistent scoring. With Harris hypothetically joining the team, it’s one less concern for the team to be worried about. The Sixers forward had a fantastic year last season, nailing a career-high 51.2% of his shots, hitting 39.4% of his three-pointers to boot.
