July 5: The Rockets have officially signed Harris to a two-way contract, per NBA.com’s transaction log.
July 3: The Rockets and free agent shooting guard Kevon Harris have agreed to terms on a two-way contract, agent Darrell Comer tells Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Harris has excelled at the G League level in recent years, earning MVP honors at the NBAGL’s Next Up Game at All-Star weekend in February. On the season, he averaged 19.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals in 31.1 minutes per game across 44 Tip-Off Tournament and regular season outings for the College Park Skyhawks, Atlanta’s affiliate.
Harris’ NBA résumé is thinner, but the 28-year-old made 36 total appearances for Orlando from 2022-24 while on a two-way contract with the Magic. He was on an NBA roster most recently when he signed a 10-day deal with the Hawks in March.
Harris will join a Rockets team that currently has one of its two-way slots filled (David Roddy), with a two-way qualifying offer out to a second player (N’Faly Dante).
A two-way contract allows a team to shuttle a player back and forth between the NBA roster and its G League affiliate, with a 50-game regular season limit at the NBA level. Two-way players earn half the rookie minimum salary.
