Tobias Harris played 33 minutes in the Sixers' 105-104 comeback win over the Miami Heat in Wednesday night's play-in game, but was benched by head coach Nick Nurse in the closing minutes of the game.

"I thought Tobias was playing fine, he played a ton of minutes, I thought he was absolutely tired," Nurse told reporters after the game. "That was the only reason I made that switch."

Harris scored nine points on 4-10 shooting (0-3 3FG)—including a blown layup and two ugly three-point misses—to go along with 10 rebounds and four assists in the game.

"Nick Nurse has to make him a 10-minute a game player," Joe DeCamara said on Thursday's 94WIP Morning Show. "Enough, enough."

Harris, 31, is in the crosshairs of Sixers fans. Overall, Harris works hard and has been a great teammate. On the floor, he's averaged anywhere between 14.7 to 19.6 points per game as a Sixer, but as of late his play and confidence has continued to decline.

In July of 2019, Harris signed a five-year, $180 million contract with the Sixers, putting lofty expectations on a max-contract, non All-Star player in a tough sports town like Philadelphia.
