76ers react to Tobias Harris leaving with illness in loss to Cavaliers

Shake Milton, Joel Embiid discuss two-man game on offense for Sixers

The Philadelphia 76ers had a miserable night in The Land on Wednesday; they were blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers, 113-85, to begin a three-game road trip. The Cavs scored 44 points on 16-for-17 shooting in the second quarter, and the Sixers had no response.

If there was one player who encapsulated the night for Philadelphia, it was Tobias Harris. After an efficient string of games, Harris finished 0-for-7 and scored just three points.

Harris left in the third quarter with an illness, after the Cavaliers had built a 33-point lead. The illness concerns the Sixers, who are already playing without James Harden and Tyrese Maxey and just had Joel Embiid return.

“I don’t know,” coach Doc Rivers told reports. “He kind of didn’t want to say anything. So I found out in the middle of the game. Right when I found out, I took them out and told him to go back. We weren’t gonna win the game. Why have him out on the floor?”

This sounds like a situation the Sixers will have to keep an eye on. There are two more games on this trip before Philadelphia returns home. The Sixers take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. It remains to be seen how Harris’ health will hold up over the next few days.
