Available against East Carolina Harris (foot) is available for Memphis' game Saturday against East Carolina, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Fortunately for Harris, he will not have to sit out multiple games because of the ankle injury that caused his DNP during Memphis' matchup Sunday against North Texas. For the 2024-25 Tigers, he has logged one point, two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes. However, it is worth noting Harris only recently made his Memphis debut and is expected to be a regular part of the Tigers' rotation.

Remains out Saturday Harris (ankle) did not play in Saturday's game versus Notre Dame.

Impact Harris continues to recover from an ankle injury and hasn't played in over a month. It's unclear when the junior will be cleared to make his return to action, but he should see double-digit minutes off the bench when he's back at full capacity.

Out vs. Morgan State Harris (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against Morgan State, Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Harris has missed multiple games as he continues to work his back from an ankle sprain and is in line to miss his sixth consecutive game. His next chance to step into the court will be in Saturday's game against Notre Dame.

Dealing with significant ankle sprain Harris is dealing with a reasonably severe ankle sprain, Michael Curran of 247Sports reports.

Impact Harris missed his second consecutive game Saturday because of the ankle sprain, and given the comments from Bennett, it sounds like the junior guard will likely miss additional action moving forward. The Georgetown has logged 19.5 minutes per game off the bench for the Cavs so far this year, but the staff will need to turn elsewhere for backcourt depth while Harris is out.

Impact Harris logged six points, four boards, two assists, and a steal in 27 minutes last week when he got the start in place of Isaac McKneely. With McKneely back from the ankle injury, Harris should resume his usual role trying to provide a spark off the bench.

Heading to portal Harris has entered the transfer portal, Matt Zenitz of On3.com reports.

Impact Harris has yet to play this season while away from the team to undisclosed personal reasons, which have apparently spurred him to leave the Georgetown program altogether. The junior point guard was the Hoyas' top returning scorer from the 2021-22 season, when he averaged 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 29 starts. He should have at least two years of remaining collegiate eligibility.

DNP again Tuesday Harris (personal) did not play during Georgetown's 75-63 loss Tuesday versus Northwestern.

Impact Personal problems continue preventing Harris from playing. Unfortunately this time, he sat out the Hoyas' third game of their 2022-23 season and as they lost embarrassingly. Harris' next chance to play is Friday versus Loyola Marymount.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

DNP vs. Coppin State Harris (personal) did not play during Georgetown's 99-89 win Tuesday versus Coppin State.

Impact As expected, Harris did not participate in the Hoyas' first game of their newest season. They are scheduled to play again Saturday versus Wisconsin-Green Bay.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out for opener Harris (personal) remains unavailable for the Hoyas in advance of Tuesday's season opener against Coppin State, John Fanta of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Given Harris has not been with the team due to personal matters, the likelihood of him suiting up Tuesday appears slim. It's a major blow for the Hoyas given he's the team's leading returning scorer and has been the primary point guard in each of the last two seasons. In his stead, Duquesne transfer Primo Spears and perhaps three-star freshman Denver Anglin could see some extra run at PG.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Away from team for personal matters Head coach Patrick Ewing said Wednesday that Harris is currently away from the team dealing with personal issues, Kareem Copeland of the Washington Post reports.

Impact It's uncertain how long Harris will be away from the team for personal matters, but he was in the midst of competing for a starting backcourt role with Primo Spears. Expect to hear more regarding Harris' status within the upcoming days.

Drops 23 points in loss Harris finished with 23 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 86-77 loss to UConn.

Impact Coming off a four-point game against DePaul on Thursday, Harris shook any doubts of his offensive prowess by tying his season-high for points that he set just five games ago. The sophomore has averaged 16 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists during 35 minutes over the last five games. His previous scoring high on 10 attempts from the floor was 14 against Longwood on Nov. 30.

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes 10 points Harris closed with 10 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 80-66 loss to Creighton.

Impact Harris has averaged nine points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists during 32.9 minutes over the last 10 games. The sophomore hasn't been able to replicate the production he enjoyed through the first 10 games of the year when he averaged 12.8 points, 5.3 assists and 4.2 rebounds. He will continue searching for his shot against Creighton on Monday.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season average in return Harris closed Sunday's 88-69 loss to St. John's with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Impact Harris missed a Jan. 13 contest against Butler and the team suffered an embarrassing loss as a result, but he was back in action and again serving as the primary point guard Sunday. The second-year guard has started all 12 of the games he's appeared in so far while serving as a key cog in a balanced scoring attack. Harris is third on the team in scoring at 13.0 ppg, and his 4.9 apg mark is also tops on the Hoyas. Assuming he's good to go, Harris has matchups against Providence (Thursday) and Villanova (Saturday) on the schedule this week.
