Pistons' Tobias Harris Out vs. Raptors with Heel Soreness

Tobias Harris of the Detroit Pistons has been struggling with heel soreness, causing him to miss several games as the team nears the end of the regular season. After returning briefly against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Harris was ruled out again, affecting his availability in upcoming matches, including Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The Pistons, already dealing with the absence of star guard Cade Cunningham due to a calf injury, will rely more on players like Lindy Waters and Simone Fontecchio during Harris's absence. Despite these setbacks, the Pistons are aiming for a successful playoff run, their first since 2019, with Harris's health being critical for their postseason success. Currently, Detroit is engaged in a tight race with the Milwaukee Bucks for the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, holding a 42-34 record. The Pistons hope to see Harris return soon to bolster their lineup as they strive for postseason victories.
