Harris notched 10 points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 133-115 preseason win over the Hawks.
After going 0-for-2 from deep in his first two exhibition appearances, Harris found his stroke from distance and notched his only double-digit scoring outing of the preseason. The two-way guard will spend most of his time in the G League, but with Fred VanVleet (knee) likely out for the season, Houston's backcourt depth is extremely shallow.

Rotowire
Harris notched 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and four steals across 31 minutes in Saturday's 104-101 Summer League win over the Timberwolves.
Harris stuffed the stat sheet in the team's Summer League finale, matching the game-high mark in steals and dishing out a team-high-tying six assists. He also led the squad in three-pointers. Harris signed a two-way pact with Houston this summer after an impressive 2024-25 campaign with the G League's College Park Skyhawks, during which he averaged 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals across 31.1 minutes per game in 44 outings.

Harris finished with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Thursday's 102-83 Summer League loss to the Trail Blazers.
Harris was one of the few bright spots in a blowout loss, leading his club on the boards. He struggled to find his groove from beyond the arc, but this was still a solid performance by the 28-year-old, who missed Monday's Summer League action while tending to an ankle injury.

Kevon Harris: Contract terminated
Rotowire
The Hawks terminated Harris' 10-day contract Tuesday.
Harris still had a week left on his 10-day deal after signing with the Hawks on Saturday, but the team parted ways with him to clear room on the 15-man roster for center Dominick Barlow, who was upgraded from a two-way deal. The 27-year-old swingman didn't appear in any games during his brief stint with the Hawks and will likely return to the G League's College Park Skyhawks, with whom he had been playing before signing his 10-day deal.

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

Kevon Harris: Not retained by Orlando
Rotowire
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.
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 with Orlando in 2022-23, but with the club becoming more competitive and reaching the playoffs in 2023-24, 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.

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

Magic's Kevon Harris: Plays 24 minutes Thursday
Rotowire
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.
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.
