We all have our own ways to deal with the quarantine brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. For Philadelphia 76ers star Tobias Harris, it comes in the form of abstaining from some of his more common grooming practices.
The 27-year-old recently came on a video interview in which he discussed a number of important matters about the team. Harris was noticeably sporting an unkempt beard, which he later explained was something he decided to maintain up and until the league resumes all basketball activities.
BTW…not shaving or cutting my hair until we're back on the court.💈✂️!! https://t.co/iOs0QI5Irc

Be it his own form of protest or just the lack of access to his barber, the fact of the matter is that the Sixers forward is going to let his hair grow as long as this lockdown continues. Like him, we are all looking forward to the day that we get to see our favorite players take the basketball court again.
Harris is not the first NBA player to be faced with this dilemma, with LeBron James and Damian Lillard recently comparing their own untidy looks amidst the pandemic. Based on what we've seen from Harris here, he certainly has a shot of joining in on the fun with LeBron and Lillard.
As for his basketball, though, Harris was actually having a great season for the Sixers prior to the hiatus. The 6-foot-8 forward was averaging 19.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.5 blocks, while also knocking down 1.8 triples on a 36.2-percent clip. He had helped Philly to a 39-26 record, which was good for sixth overall in the Eastern Conference.
