Tobias Harris had 23 points and eight rebounds in Pistons’ 116-109 win over Magic in Game 5.
Orlando, Fla. — Tobias Harris has been upgraded to available for the Detroit Pistons’ Game 6 contest against the Orlando Magic on Friday night at Kia Center. Harris entered the game on the Pistons’ injury report after sustaining a left ankle sprain in the Pistons’ Game 5 victory Wednesday night.
Harris tweaked his ankle late in the third quarter but finished the game despite limping. He went on to play 31 minutes, finishing with 23 points, eight rebounds and two steals.
Through the first five games of the first-round series against the Magic, Harris has been a consistent figure for the Pistons. He is averaging 19.8 points on 44.6% shooting from the field, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. The Magic currently leads the best-of-seven, first-round series 3-2. A victory by the Pistons will force a Game 7 on Sunday at Little Caesars Arena.
Despite having Harris available, the Pistons will not have Kevin Huerter for the second consecutive game due to a left adductor strain. The Magic will also be without Franz Wagner due to a calf injury.
