The Spurs have landed one of the top veteran forwards remaining on the free-agent market.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, San Antonio has agreed to a two-year, $31 million contract with Tobias Harris.
Harris leaves the Pistons after helping lead the franchise’s turnaround over the past two seasons and now joins the defending Western Conference champions.
The veteran forward averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 63 games last season while providing steady leadership alongside Cade Cunningham during Detroit’s return to playoff contention.
The signing comes just hours after the Pistons agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract with John Collins, a move that effectively paved the way for Harris’ departure.
San Antonio had been linked to several veteran forwards entering free agency, including Harris, Rui Hachimura and Collins. The Spurs ultimately landed Harris on a shorter-term contract that adds experience, shooting and versatility around Victor Wembanyama and the rest of their young core.
Harris, who turns 34 later this month, has appeared in more than 1,000 NBA games during a career that has included stops with the Bucks, Magic, Pistons, Clippers, 76ers and Pistons again.
He now heads to San Antonio, where he’ll join a team looking to build on last season’s run to the NBA Finals.
