Tobias Harris is staying put and securing the bag.
The free agent forward will be re-signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a five-year, $180 million deal, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Harris, 26, was acquired by the Sixers at last February’s trade deadline and averaged 18.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game with the team. JJ Redick’s departure to the New Orleans Pelicans at the beginning of free agency presumably created more money for Philly to give to Harris.
Recent reports suggested that Harris might be reuniting with an old flame, but the Sixers keep their man, and now the attention will turn to if they can bring back Jimmy Butler as well.
