He then went on to average 21.4 points and 7.9 rebounds in 17 NBADL games before being brought back for a pair of 10-day contracts.
This season, Harris has only appeared in three games -- seeing extended minutes just once, when he scored nine points in 18 minutes against the Chicago Bulls.
After opting to forgo his senior year at Michigan following the 2009-10 season, Harris was not selected in the 2010 NBA Draft. He earned a training camp invite as an undrafted rookie with the Cavaliers, eventually making the team and playing the 2010-11 season.
In three years at Michigan, Harris averaged 17 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists. Despite playing just three years at Michigan, Harris finished his career at No. 10 on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,668 points.
The Detroit native also ended his time at No. 9 on the all-time assist list (336), No. 4 on the all-time free throw percentage list (82.74 percent) and No. 32 on the all-time rebounding list (559).
