Tobias Harris will not return to Sixers vs. Bucks due to calf soreness

The Philadelphia 76ers are in Milwaukee on Saturday looking to pick up an impressive win over the Bucks. They currently trail the No. 1 seed in the East by six at halftime, but they will have to play the rest of this contest without Tobias Harris.

The reliable veteran forward suffered a calf issue in the first half and it was ruled at halftime that Harris would not return due to left calf soreness. He will finish with three points after Philadelphia freed himself up for an open triple.

Without Harris, the Sixers will need more from guys like Georges Niang and Jalen McDaniels. Those two will likely receive more minutes after halftime in wake of the Harris injury.

With or without Harris, the Sixers will have to be better defensively as Milwaukee was able to have success shooting the ball in the first half. That will be the key to winning this one.
