*Correction: Tobias Harris did not participate in Monday's shootaround session. He remains questionable for Monday's game. 

Lately, Tobias Harris has been battling calf pain. As the Philadelphia 76ers took on the Miami Heat last Monday, Harris was held out in the final minutes of the game due to a calf-related setback.

After the game, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers didn’t have a detailed medical report on Harris. As he was unsure of whether Harris strained it or hurt it by contact, the veteran forward’s status moving forward remained unclear.

Two nights later, it was evident that Harris didn’t suffer a severe setback. As the Sixers prepared to take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday night, Harris was not listed on the team’s injury report. Therefore, he got the nod to play against the Heat once again.

And when the Sixers paid a visit to the Dallas Mavericks just one night after defeating the Heat, Harris once again was absent on the injury report. For the second-straight game, he played for over 34 minutes without dealing with a setback.

Everything was trending in the right direction for Harris leading up to Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but he dealt with another setback over the weekend. 

After checking into Saturday’s game for 13 minutes, Harris went back to the team’s locker room to get his calf checked out. After undergoing an evaluation, the Sixers ruled out Harris for the remainder of their Saturday night matchup against the Bucks.

Following the win over Milwaukee, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers was unsure whether or not Harris would play in the team’s Monday night matchup over the Indiana Pacers. On Sunday, the Sixers put the veteran on the injury report, listing him as questionable with a calf contusion.

When the Sixers held a Monday morning shootaround session, Harris did not participate in the team’s shootaround on Monday morning. While he wasn't an active participant in the light session, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, his status still remains in question.

The Sixers and the Pacers are set to tip-off at 7 PM ET. on Monday.
