DAJUAN HARRIS NEWS

May not practice, still probable Harris (ankle) may not practice on Thursday but is still probable before Kansas' game Saturday versus Baylor, according to Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Impact Kansas' head coach Bill Self said he does not know if Harris will practice on Thursday. However, the junior is not expected to sit out any games. Self believes Harris can practice on Friday and be available Saturday.

Probable vs. Baylor Harris suffered an ankle injury during Kansas' 87-76 win Tuesday at Oklahoma State, according to Matt Tait of the Lawrence Journal-World.

Impact Harris had his left ankle taped heavily at one point during Kansas' latest game. But post-game, the junior was not wearing a walking boot and seemed confident he would be ready to play Baylor on Saturday. So before the Jayhawks host their next opponent, Harris will be probable.

Scores in double figures again Harris ended Saturday's 78-55 victory over Oklahoma with 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Harris has served a limited role as a scorer this season, averaging 8.2 points across his 25 starts. However, the 6-foot-1 point guard has now posted 16, 17, two and 18 points over the last four games, marking his best four-game stretch since early January. Harris is also still averaging an efficient assist-to-turnover ratio of 6.0:2.1 this season, so he could be a very significant player fantasy-wise if he maintains this run of increased scoring moving forward.

Comes to life in win over rival Harris ended with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 90-78 win over Kansas State.

Impact Harris tied his season high for points to break his rough stretch of scoring over the last five games (2.6). Conversely, the junior point guard came well short of his usual impact as a field general, matching his fewest assists in any game this season. Harris has still averaged 6.3 assists per game this season, so it's fair to assume Tuesday's low minimal output was merely a blip in his production. It's worth considering Harris in the majority of fantasy lineups so long as he merely maintains his relatively modest scoring average on the season (7.7).

Eight points, assists Harris supplied eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and eight assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 77-68 win over Kentucky.

Impact Harris recovered after scoring five total points over the previous four games. He also continued to serve a prominent role as the Jayhawks' floor general, as he's now averaged 6.5 assists over 21 starts. Harris has also logged 1.9 steals per game, so his value on both ends of the court should continue to make him a solid fantasy contributor.

Comes up short in OT loss Harris chipped in three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 83-82 OT loss to Kansas State.

Impact Harris managed to continue playing nearly every minute for the Jayhawks despite briefly heading to the locker room with an apparent lower-body injury during regulation, according to Michael Swain of 247Sports.com. While the point guard was able to log a season high in assists, he posted one of his worst shooting performances of the season. He also lost his footing while driving to the hoop and failed to put up a shot before time expired in overtime. Harris has still converted 41.5 percent of his 6.8 field-goal attempts and 55.5 percent of his 3.3 shots from beyond the arc per game during Big 12 play, though his primary value will continue to come as a distributor for the Jayhawks' offense moving forward.

Team high in points Tuesday Harris notched 18 points (6-7 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 75-72 victory over Texas Tech.

Impact Harris logged his best scoring and shooting performance of the season to help make up for this relatively lackluster performance by Kansas forwards Jalen Wilson and Kevin McCullar, who shot a combined 9-fo-25 from the field Tuesday. The junior point guard averaged just 1.2 three-point attempts per game coming into this win, so this great performance from beyond the arc shot his three-point percentage up to 52.4 percent for the season. Harris' high overall shooting efficiency (52.3) combined with his 6.5:2.0 assist-to-turnover ratio should continue to make him one of the best backcourt players in the Big 12.

Impact Harris set a career high in assists to help lead the Jayhawks over fellow blue blood Duke. The 6-foot-1 junior was a solid role player in Kansas' highly-experienced starting lineup last year, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 assists in 29 minutes over 40 games, though he appears to be growing into a larger position on the offensive end floor this season. Harris has now averaged 7.7 dimes over three games so far in the 2022-23 campaign, and he should continue to help orchestrate the Jayhawks' offense this Friday against Southern Utah.

With multiple new starters and prominent bench players this season, Harris will have an important role in orchestrating Kansas' scoring this Thursday against North Dakota State.

Seven assists in road loss Harris finished Tuesday's 74-64 loss to TCU with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and seven assists across 25 minutes.

Impact Harris has logged exactly seven assists in each of the last three games. Over that stretch, however, he has scored just six total points. Even with Remy Martin back in the fold, Harris should still continue to start and play 25+ minutes per night. Kansas will hope to break a two-game losing streak on Thursday in the rematch against TCU.

12 points, five assists in win Harris finished Monday's 76-62 victory over Oklahoma State with 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Impact Harris had a nice showing against Oklahoma State. He is becoming a more willing shooter from deep, as this marked the second time in the last three games he has attempted at least five three-pointers. Kansas will need Harris to be willing to pull as the sag off of him to double the post and focus attention on Ochai Agbaji. Even when/if Remy Martin returns, Harris is still going to be in position to contribute in assists and steal categories. Kansas will face West Virginia on Saturday.
