Joe Harris To Miss First Game Of Season Saturday
Joe Harris for Saturday’s game versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to lower back soreness. It’s an unfortunate bit of luck as no team in the league has yielded more made threes than Milwaukee (14.0) on a nightly basis this year, leaving Brooklyn without one of it’s most vital cogs against the Eastern Conference’s top team. With Garrett Temple also out, the high-octane scoring duo of Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie could be tasked with an even larger role in the offense. Harris’ next attempt at suiting up comes Monday against Philadelphia.

Joe Harris Considered Doubtful Wednesday
Joe Harris (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies. The veteran is recovering from a shoulder sprain and will likely miss a 14th consecutive game. Having dropped 17 games in a row, the Pistons could use all the help they can get, but Harris didn't do much for the team when he was healthy. The veteran sniper struggled with his shooting and amassed only 3.4 points in 14.0 minutes. Following the season debut of Bojan Bogdanovic, Harris' hopes of carving out a meaningful role are even smaller.

Joe Harris Remains On The Sidelines Monday
Joe Harris (shoulder) will be absent for a 10th straight game on Monday against Washington. The veteran sniper continues to nurse a shoulder strain. Detroit traded for Harris in the offseason, but it looks like the team doesn't have big plans with him, as Harris was limited to only 14.0 minutes per game before he got hurt. He will get his next chance to return on Wednesday night versus the Lakers.

Joe Harris Could Miss Next Two Weeks
Joe Harris (shoulder) was already ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game. Now, it sounds like the veteran guard is going to miss more time than expected. The team plans to shut down Harris and re-evaluate him in 10-14 days. This is not good timing with the Pistons already having Alec Burks (forearm) and Jaden Ivey (illness) ruled out for Wednesday. That means, Marcus Sasser is going to continue playing a significant role with the Pistons shorthanded. He should be a fairly reliable fantasy option while the Pistons are banged up.

Joe Harris On The Move To Detroit
Joe Harris has been dealt to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. They're also sending two second-round picks to create a traded-player exception and more financial freedom to make some deals this offseason. They'll send a 2027 second-round pick via Dallas and a 2029 second-round pick via Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the Pistons get another shooter that will hopefully get back to being at the top of the league in three-point percentage. Harris doesn't have much value fantasy-wise outside of threes.
