Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris was one of the biggest offseason additions made by any team in the league.
Harris finished last season with averages of 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists per contest while shooting 48.7% from the field and 35.3% from the three-point range in 70 games for the Philadelphia 76ers.
On Friday evening, the Pistons played their third preseason game when they faced off against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns in Arizona.
The Pistons won by a score of 109-91, and Harris finished with 22 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block while shooting 8/13 from the field and 2/4 from the three-point range in 27 minutes.

After the game, Harris made a post to Instagram.
He captioned his post: "And the flow goes on. ♂️"
The Pistons are coming off a season where they were the worst team in the NBA with a 14-68 record.
They have missed the NBA playoffs in each of the previous five seasons.
That said, the addition of Harris (and others) is expected to make the Pistons a much better team in 2025.
