The Hawks intend to sign swingman Kevon Harris to a 10-day contract, agent Daniel Hazan tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
Harris, who spent two seasons on a two-way contract with the Magic from 2022-24, was in camp with the Hawks last fall and joined Atlanta’s G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks, after being waived by the NBA team in October.
In 34 total outings for the Skyhawks during the 2024 Tip-Off Tournament and 2024/25 regular season, Harris has averaged 19.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals in 31.0 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .463/.447/.804. The 6’5″ guard/forward has had a career-best season as a three-point shooter, with 2.6 makes per contest.
Harris only appeared in two NBA games for Orlando last season, but saw more action in 2022/23, averaging 4.1 PPG, 2.1 RPG, and 0.5 APG in 34 appearances (13.4 MPG) off the bench for the Magic.
The Hawks have an open spot on their 15-man roster, so no corresponding move will be necessary to create an opening for Harris, who will earn $119,972 on his 10-day deal. Atlanta will carry an identical cap hit.
Assuming Harris officially signs his contract before Friday’s game vs. Oklahoma City, the deal would run through March 9, covering Atlanta’s next five games. If he doesn’t sign until Saturday, the 27-year-old could still be active for up to five games, since the Hawks play on March 10.
