Yesterday Luke Kornet celebrated his thirty first birthday. However what I had not realized was that Tobias Harris additionally had a birthday. He turned 34.
Harris simply signed with the Spurs on July 6, every week after the window opened on June 30. Harris additionally made The Ringer’s most just lately up to date Prime 100 gamers, giving the Spurs a commanding eight gamers on the checklist.
Harris brings a veteran presence to the Spurs in addition to putting extra measurement (6’8” and 230 lbs.) and expertise on the energy ahead place. There’s a stable probability he can be beginning alongside Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Fort, De’Aaron Fox, and Devin Vassell, recent off their Race for Seis title run. A beginning 5 of prime 100 gamers backed by Dylan Harper, Julian Champagnie, Sixth Man Keldon Johnson, Carter Bryant, Harrison Barnes, and the aforementioned Kornet raises the Spurs stage a notch going into the 2026-27 season.
Will that notch be sufficient to get them previous OKC and over the hump that led to their Finals loss in opposition to the New York Knicks? Solely time will inform.
Harris began in 63 video games for the highest jap Convention seeded Detroit Pistons final season. He averaged 13.3 factors, 5.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.92 steals in 27.7 minutes per recreation. Harris helped propel the Pistons again to the postseason and win their first playoff collection since 2008. If he can do the identical for the Silver & Black, a brand new dynasty may very well be on the horizon.
