The L.A. Clippers could shift gears and bring back Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris if they fail to sign Kawhi Leonard, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The Clippers traded Harris to Philadelphia prior to February's trade deadline in exchange for Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala, Landry Shamet, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks.
Reports suggest Leonard is strongly considering re-signing with the Toronto Raptors after leading the organization to its first-ever NBA championship. The Clippers have been linked to the two-time Defensive Player of the Year ever since he demanded a trade from the San Antonio Spurs last summer.
Harris had a strong relationship with the Clippers during his time there and was enjoying a career-best season before being dealt.
In addition to the Clippers, the Brooklyn Nets, Dallas Mavericks, and Denver Nuggets are among the teams expected to show interest in Harris.
The 6-foot-9 forward has already played for five organizations over his eight seasons in the league despite having a productive career.
Harris, 26, averaged 20.9 points and 7.9 rebounds in 55 games in L.A. before the trade. He averaged 18.2 points and 7.9 boards in 27 games with Philly.
