Meager output in loss Harris accumulated nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Despite being healthy and Jalen Suggs (ankle) unavailable, Harris didn't see the floor in the Magic's last game, but he returned to the rotation Tuesday and outperformed Suggs' replacement R.J. Hampton. With Markelle Fultz scheduled for a maintenance day and Suggs' status still in jeopardy, it's likely that Harris will remain in the rotation for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans.

Impressive line off bench Harris posted 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, four steals and three rebounds across 37 minutes Monday in the Magic's 121-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact After he ultimately wasn't moved ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Harris has continued to handle an elevated role with the Magic's second unit. He's seen no fewer than 27 minutes in any of Orlando's three games following the deadline, and he made the most of his ample playing time Monday. These scoring performances are replicable for Harris, but fantasy players shouldn't count on him consistently delivering strong numbers in the assists and steals columns. He's averaging 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals per game on the season.

Drains five treys in win Harris finished with 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds in 32 minutes Tuesday in the Magic's 113-95 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Since moving to a bench role in late January, Harris has been a consistent scoring presence for the Magic, averaging 12.3 points and 2.9 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes over a stretch of eight games. However, his production in other categories has been modest (2.4 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and zero blocks), and his fantasy outlook is more likely to get worse than improve once Thursday's trade deadline passes. Even if Harris isn't moved elsewhere, he'll likely be viewed as less of a priority and could even be a buyout candidate for a rebuilding Magic squad that has no visions of competing for a playoff spot. His one path to more production would be if highly touted rookie Jalen Suggs had to miss any time again, and Suggs did leave Tuesday's game with an Achilles injury.

Rains in six threes Harris racked up 22 points (6-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 win over the Pacers.

Impact Living from beyond the arc, Harris missed multiple open looks from deep, squandering what could have been elite three-point production. Nonetheless, Wednesday marked a well-rounded stat line by Harris' standards, as he collected at least five assists for just the fourth time this season. The Magic next take the court Saturday against the Grizzlies. Harris has averaged 11.1 points per game across 19 prior contests versus Memphis.

Scores 14 points in return Harris finished with 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Harris returned to the rotation after a one-game absence due to back spasms. The veteran guard came off the bench while Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs started but all three played at least 30 minutes. In 11 games as a reserve this season, Harris has averaged 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.6 minutes.

Not listed on injury report Harris (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Clippers.

Impact Harris was sidelined for Sunday's contest against the Bulls due to back spasms, but he practiced Tuesday and is expected to be good to go for Wednesday. While Harris has started the last 29 games he's been active for, the majority of those came when Jalen Suggs was sidelined due to a thumb injury. So, with Cole Anthony and Suggs both healthy, it's unclear what the Magic's starting backcourt will look like.

Practices Tuesday Harris (back) practiced Tuesday, but his status for Wednesday's contest against the Clippers is still to be determined, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Harris was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest with the Bulls and was eventually ruled out. It's a positive sign to see him back at practice, but the Magic may elect to be cautious and hold him out for a second straight game.
