Harper racked up 25 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and a steal in 25 minutes Saturday against the Legends.
Harper led the Lakers in bench scoring, successfully converting on 61.1 percent of his shot attempts from the field in a 148-114 victory on the road. Despite an impressive performance, he's been unable to produce at this level consistently as proven by his 8.8 ppg and 3.4 rpg average through 19 contests in the G League this year.

Knicks' Justin Harper: Headed to summer league with Knicks
Harper will suit up for the Knicks' summer league team, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.
Since graduating from Richmond in 2011, Harper has bounced around internationally and most recently played for ASVEL Basket of the French LNB Pro A league. In 37 games with ASVEL, Harper averaged 9.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 19.7 minutes. Despite playing overseas for so long, Harper continues his quest to earn an NBA contract and will now head to summer league with the Knicks to try and impress the coaching staff.

76ers' Justin Harper: Will sign 10-day deal with Philadelphia
Harper will sign a 10-day contract with the 76ers on Friday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Harper, a 2011 second-round pick of the Cavaliers, has just 19 NBA appearances to his name, with five of those coming when he received a pair of 10-day deals from the Pistons in 2015-16. The 27-year-old, who is averaging 16.2 points and 7.0 rebounds for the Los Angeles D-Fenders on the season, should help bolster the team's depth in the frontcourt with Joel Embiid (knee) ruled out for the season, but he's not expected to be a rotation player.

Justin Harper: Won't be re-signed
Harper's second 10-day contract with the Pistons expired Tuesday, and the team announced he wouldn't be signed for the remainder of the season, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.
Harper was brought in by the Pistons in late February to provide depth at forward while Anthony Tolliver (knee) and Stanley Johnson (shoulder) were out with injuries. The 26-year-old lost his rotation spot when those two players returned to full health, and he'll finish his stint with the Pistons with averages of 2.6 points over seven minutes in five appearances. Coach Stan Van Gundy indicated that the Pistons didn't have any immediate plans to add another player to fill the vacant roster spot.

Harper will sign a second 10-day deal with the Pistons on Friday, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.
Harper has appeared sparingly in three games while on his first 10-day deal, but the Pistons have apparently been impressed enough with what they've seen to keep the Richmond product around for at least another week-and-a-half. Once this second contract expires, Detroit will either have to release Harper or sign him for the remainder of the season.

Justin Harper: Signs 10-day contract with Detroit
Harper will sign a 10-day contract with the Pistons, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Harper has been playing in the D-League with the Los Angeles D-Fenders after being waived by the Nets back in late-October of 2015. The 26-year-old will look to make his first appearance for an NBA squad since the 2011-12 season where he had 14 outings with the Magic. Although, Harper should have a tough time finding rotational minutes in Detroit, even if he's ultimately given another 10-day contract or signed for the remainder of the season.
