NBA Market: Tobias Harris will play with Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs
Detroit Pistons has not been able to retain one of its key players who is moving to the Western Conference
The San Antonio Spurs continue to strengthen their roster after reaching the NBA Finals last season. The Texas franchise has reached an agreement with veteran Tobias Harris, who signs a two-year, $31 million contract.
At 33, Harris ends his second stint with the Detroit Pistons, where he played a significant role in transforming a team from being at the bottom of the NBA to becoming one of the league's best.
The power forward stood out for his scoring ability and threat from the perimeter, qualities he will now bring to the service of a Spurs team that continues to surround its young core of players with experience and leadership.
During his last two seasons in Detroit, Harris averaged 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. In that period, the Pistons underwent one of the most significant progressions in the league, going from one of the worst teams in the NBA to achieving 60 victories last season and making the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
Harris returned to Detroit in the summer of 2024 after a six-season stint with the Philadelphia 76ers. He then signed a two-year, $52 million contract with the Michigan franchise, where he became one of the few veterans on one of the youngest rosters in the league.
More Moves in Spurs with Champagnie
He now faces a new challenge in San Antonio, a team that recently reached its first NBA Finals since 2014 and continues to strengthen with the goal of taking the final step towards the championship.
Harris's signing adds to other recent moves by the Spurs, who have also renewed Julian Champagnie with a three-year contract and have added veteran Harrison Barnes for a season, solidifying a roster that aims to remain among the top contenders in the Western Conference.
