The Raptors tendered a two-way qualifying offer to Jalen Harris, according to RealGM’s transactions log. That makes Harris a restricted free agent.
Harris was reinstated by the league earlier this week. He was dismissed and disqualified from the NBA on July 1, 2021 for violating the terms of the league’s anti-drug program, then became eligible to apply for reinstatement last month.
Harris was still under contract with Toronto at the time of his suspension and the Raptors had 30 days to tender him a one-year, two-way qualifying offer.
The Raptors already have 19 players under contract, with second-round pick Christian Koloko still unsigned and a two-way qualifying offer out to another restricted free agent, David Johnson.
Jarrett Culver also might also be added to the camp roster, Blake Murphy of The Athletic tweets. The 2019 lottery pick played 37 regular season and three postseason games for the Grizzlies last season. He became an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Teams are permitted to carry up to 20 players until the day before the regular season begins.
The 59th overall pick in 2020, Harris spent his first professional season on a two-way contract with the Raptors, then signed with Vanoli Cremona in Italy for the 2021/22 campaign following his suspension from the NBA. This May, he joined the Scarborough Shooting Stars of the Canadian Elite Basketball League as he prepared to apply for reinstatement to the NBA.
Harris averaged 7.4 PPG on .500/.472/.778 shooting in 13 NBA games (13.2 MPG) and put up 17.6 PPG on .457/.500/.667 shooting in seven NBAGL contests (29.4 MPG) as a rookie in ’20/21.
Time to move on from Flynn.
Banton time baby
You must be joking? Flynn is the future, if not this season, then the next he will breakout
Mykhailuk and Watanabe plus Birch are pretty much expendable at this time.
Flynn was a lotto pick before covid. Give him some time
Banton needs a better 3pt shot and eliminate the bad turnovers
Birch has no spot with Young and Boucher plus Siakam and Barnes playing the 5.
Seems pretty late in the free agency period to be handing out qualifying offers?
He wasn’t eligible to be tendered the offer until after his reinstatement.
