KEVON HARRIS NEWS

Let go by Atlanta The Hawks waived Harris on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Harris was unable to secure a regular-season roster spot with the Hawks after signing an Exhibit 10 contract earlier this offseason. Harris will likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with the College Park Skyhawks of the G League.

Not starting after all Updating a previous report, Harris won't be in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Harris was initially announced as a starter for Thursday's preseason finale, but in the end, it'll be David Roddy who gets the nod. Harris is expected to see minutes off the bench.

Gets starting nod Thursday Harris is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Harris will get the chance to impress the coaching staff right from the get-go, as he'll start in the backcourt alongside Dejounte Murray. Harris is playing on an Exhibit 10 deal, so his chances of cracking the regular-season roster are slim to none, even if he dazzles in this one.

Signs training camp deal Harris signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Harris spent some time with the Clippers in August but didn't quite make the cut, and he'll now get a chance to latch on in Atlanta. The Hawks have all three two-way slots filled, so it's likely Harris ends up with the team's G League affiliate.

Inks training camp deal with LAC Harris has signed a training camp deal with the Clippers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's possible that with an impressive training camp, Harris may be able to land a two-way deal with the Clippers for the upcoming season, but it would take a cluster of injuries for him to gain any relevancy in fantasy hoops.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Not retained by Orlando The Magic declined to extend Harris a $1.87 million qualifying offer Friday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

Impact Harris spent the past two seasons in Orlando after striking a two-year, two-way deal with the Magic in the summer of 2022. He appeared in 34 games for the Magic in 2022-23, but with the club becoming more competitive in 2023-24 and reaching the playoffs, Harris was often inactive and saw action in just two contests at the NBA level. Harris was solid at G League level with the Osceola Magic in 2023-24 -- he averaged 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from three-point range over 27 appearances -- but since he already turned 27 years old earlier this month, it's unlikely that another organization will view him as a development piece worthy of a two-way spot during the upcoming season.

Won't play Tuesday Harris (coach's decision) is inactive Tuesday against Washington.

Not available Friday Harris is listed as out for Friday's game against the Wizards in a coach's decision.

Impact Harris -- who is one of the Magic's two-way players -- has yet to make his NBA or G League debut this season. He was sidelined to begin the season while recovering from right knee soreness, but he's been ruled out for Orlando's more recent contests due to what the Magic have attributed to coach's decisions. The Magic haven't provided an explanation behind Harris' recent absences, but it's possible the team is holding him out in order to conserve his games count at the NBA level. Two-way players are eligible to be active for up to 50 games in a given season.

Plays 24 minutes Thursday Harris (elbow) put up eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one assist and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 118-94 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact After missing three straight contests with a bruised left elbow, Harris was cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Cleveland, but he didn't see the court in a coach's decision in the Magic's 117-113 loss. With Orlando holding all five of their regular starters out Thursday, however, Harris re-entered the rotation in the rematch. All five of those regular starters are listed as questionable for the second leg of the back-to-back set Friday in Brooklyn, and if all five are cleared to play, Harris will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.

Impact After missing Lakeland's previous contest Tuesday versus the Delaware Blue Coats due to a facial contusion, Harris returned to Lakeland's starting lineup Friday and tied for a game-high scoring total. Disregarding the game when the 25-year-old departed due to injury after playing just six minutes, Harris is now averaging 21.8 points and 5.9 rebounds per matchup over his last nine outings in the G League.

Recieves single-game suspension Harris will be available for Friday's game against the Wizards but will serve his suspension Wednesday against the Thunder.

Impact Harris and seven of his teammates were handed suspensions for an altercation that occurred in Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Because of this, the league has decided to stagger the suspensions, and Harris will serve his on Wednesday with Admiral Schofield and Franz Wagner. With five Orlando players serving their suspensions Friday, Harris could crack the rotation and play a significant role after being handed DNP-CDs for three straight games.

Makes all four shot attempts Harris ended with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 125-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Harris did not play in the first half but spent nine minutes on the floor in the third quarter, scoring seven points in the period. It was just the sixth time in Orlando's last 11 games that he made an appearance. Wednesday's offensive efficiency comes as a bit of a surprise as he entered the day having made just 33.3 percent of his shot attempts for the year.

Available Sunday Harris is available for Sunday's matchup against the 76ers, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Harris was deemed questionable due to an illness, but coach Jamahl Mosley said Harris will "give it a go" Sunday. Orlando is extremely shorthanded, so Harris should garner a decent sized role if he can avoid a setback with his current aliment.
