According to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sixers forward Tobias Harris will not be playing for USA Basketball this summer. The news comes days after Ben Simmons pulled out of the FIBA games where he had considered playing for his home-country’s Australian National team. Simmons, who recently signed a max contract extension, wanted to focus on the upcoming season for the Sixers. It sounds like some of Philadelphia’s most important players who are now signed for the long-haul, are prioritizing their upcoming NBA season before anything else. Harris signed a 5 year $180m contract back in June to stay in Philly.
