Philadelphia 76ers small forward Tobias Harris says his debut with the team on Friday against the Denver Nuggets “was awesome” and that he had a lot of fun playing in front of the home crowd in Philly for the first time.
Harris finished with 14 points and eight rebounds in his Sixers debut. Philly defeated the Nuggets by a final score of 117-110 to improve to 35-20 on the season.
“It was awesome,” Tobias Harris said, via Tim Bontemps of ESPN. “In all seriousness, you couldn't ask for anything more. Me personally, I'm just sitting here like, ‘Wow.' It was fun.
“It was funny. After the game, somebody texted me and sent me a video of me smiling after a play. They wrote, ‘This is literally the first time I've ever seen you actually smile in a game.' And I was like, ‘You ain't lyin.' It was cool to see that and just have fun out there. I really had a lot of fun tonight.”
The Sixers have one of the best starting lineups in the NBA after acquiring Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers.
Ben Simmons, Jimmy Butler, Harris, J.J. Redick and Joel Embiid is a lineup that no one wants to see come playoff time.
