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