12:31 PM PT – Lordy, Tobias Harris is BACK in the game !!! The 76ers said he showed no signs of an audition, so they patted his circumcision and sent the guy back into the fight.

Dreadful man, no doubt.
Tobias Harris took a horrible fall on the basketball court that could have seriously injured the man, or maybe even killed him – but luckily it looks like he will be in order.
The 76ers star played in Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics, when at one point late in the third quarter he went up for a defensive handball … but got his legs clipped by Jayson Tatum midair, who tilted his body and made him headfirst hard on the head.
You could see he was in excruciating pain when he writhed on the floor and could not get up at first. The refs stopped the game and Philly’s medical staff went to the court to evaluate him. It turned out that they were also signaling for trauma, which meant it was serious.
It also looks like there might be some blood spattered on the floor that the med team was also quick to clear up.
The good news is that Tobias was able to get up and run from the court. He is said to have suffered a left eye laceration and was evaluated for a hearing aid in the locker room.
It could have been much worse … thank goodness it was not.
