Tobias Harris’ second stint in Detroit is coming to an end, as the veteran forward has agreed to a two-year, $31 million contract with the San Antonio Spurs, according to a league source granted anonymity because the deal is not yet official.Trajan Langdon, Detroit’s president of basketball operations, said in May that the Pistons had hoped to retain Harris, who turns 34 on July 15. But that won’t be the case, as he’ll now team up with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle on a Spurs team that made the NBA Finals last season.ESPN first reported the deal. Harris spent two years in Detroit (2016-18) before rejoining the Pistons as a free agent in 2024. This past season, Harris paced All-Star guard Cade Cunningham as the Pistons’ second-leading scorer during the postseason with 18.1 points per game. Harris also added 7.2 rebounds and a playoff-career-high 1.5 steals per game as the Pistons, the top seed in the Eastern Conference, won a playoff series for the first time since 2008.Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff has described Harris as his “safety blanket,” and Harris has been revered as a professional who brings leadership to the locker room. For example, multiple Pistons have praised how Harris has helped younger guys on the team fine-tune their daily routines and approach recovery as a veteran should.“That’s really my guy,” backup point guard Daniss Jenkins said of Harris after a Pistons playoff win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. “(It’s) all the little things. Just talking to me because it’s not easy playing behind the main guy when you’re in that position. So it’s just all the little things to keep my mental right. To stay with it and stay poised through all the ups and the downs.”
