The Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association and guard Kevon Harris, who was on a two-way deal with the Rockets earlier this month, have agreed to a contract, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype tweets.
Harris was waived by Houston on Dec. 2 to make room for Tyler Smith. He didn’t play at all for Houston this season but was averaging 19.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in eight appearances for the G League’s Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
Harris, 28, appeared in a total of 36 games with the Magic from 2022-24. He averaged 4.0 and 2.0 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per contest.
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. Last 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. He signed a two-way deal with Houston in July.
