Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has expressed admiration for Tobias Harris’ sustained excellence and professionalism throughout his lengthy career, according to Coty Davis of the Detroit News. Cunningham highlighted how Harris’ durability serves as an inspiration to younger teammates striving to have similarly enduring careers.
Harris’ Continued Impact on and off the Court
Cunningham described Harris’ ability to perform at a high level late into his career as impressive and said,
“It is something all of us young guys aspire to be.”
He added,
“In year 15, I want to be able to come out, feel good, and be able to get into my bag as he does. For him to be doing that with us and bringing as much fire to our huddles and on the court, it means a lot.”
Currently an unrestricted free agent after this season, Harris is maintaining solid averages with 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds in 28.3 minutes per game. His recent performances include a clutch shot in overtime against the Cleveland Cavaliers and a 23-point, seven-rebound effort versus the Orlando Magic.
