Sixers to have Tobias Harris return from ankle injury against Lakers
As the Philadelphia 76ers get set to take on the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, they will get a little bit healthier in an effort to get back on track.
While Joel Embiid, De’Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington will remain sidelined with their ailments, the Sixers will have a key starter return from a nagging ankle injury.
Tobias Harris, who has missed Philadelphia’s previous three games with a right ankle issue, is officially able to return against the Lakers. The Sixers have missed his ability to put the ball in the basket as a No. 2 guy next to Tyrese Maxey on the offensive end.

On the season, Harris is averaging 17.1 points and shooting 49% from the floor. It has been a bit of tough sledding for him as of late, but there is no question of his importance to the Sixers and their success on the floor.
Tip off from Crypto.com Arena is set for 10:30 p.m. EDT.
