76ers Rumors: Tobias Harris a Candidate to Replace Bradley Beal on Team USA

The United States men’s basketball reportedly "inquired" about the availability of Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris as a potential replacement for Bradley Beal at the Tokyo Olympics, according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Pompey added that Harris "is out of the country on vacation. He is scheduled to return Saturday evening."

Beal, 28, was pulled from the team after being placed in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Wednesday. Jerami Grant has also been placed in the protocols, though Gregg Popovich has reportedly "expressed optimism" that he'll be able to participate in Tokyo, per Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
