He finished the year with averages of 2.0 points and 1.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 66.7% from the field in two games.

On Thursday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that Harris will sign a two-way deal with the Houston Rockets.

Via Scotto: "The Houston Rockets and Kevon Harris have agreed to a two-way deal, Senior VP of @CSETalent Darrell Comer told @hoopshype. Harris was G League Next Up Game MVP and signed a 10-day deal with the Atlanta Hawks last season. He averaged 19.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in the G League."

Harris has played part of two seasons in the NBA with the Magic.

His career averages are 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest while shooting 44.5% from the field and 37.2% from the three-point range in 36 games.

Via NBA G League (on February 13): "Kevon Harris brought the HEAT with a back-to-back double digit game. Harris dropped 33 PTS in the @CPSkyhawks victory over the OKC Blue."

The Rockets finished the 2024-25 season as the second seed in the Western Conference with a 52-30 record.

They made the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.

That said, the Rockets lost to the Golden State Warriors in the first round (in seven games).
