The Hawks have terminated Kevon Harris‘ 10-day contract on just the fourth day of the deal, the team announced today in a press release.
Harris earned a promotion to Atlanta’s NBA roster after starring this season for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League. In 36 outings for the Hawks’ NBAGL affiliate, he has averaged 19.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 30.8 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .456/.436/.805.
Although he was technically active for the Hawks on Monday against Memphis, Harris didn’t see any action. His contract has been ended early so that the Hawks can elevate Dominick Barlow from his two-way contract to the standard roster. Promoting Barlow today will allow Atlanta to sign a replacement two-way player before Tuesday’s deadline.
Harris won’t have to pass through waivers and becomes an NBA free agent immediately now that his contract has been terminated. He remains eligible for a two-way deal if Atlanta still wants to keep him on the roster in some form.
Even though he was released early, Harris will still earn his full 10-day salary of $119,972.
$119,972 for 4 days of work. Dang
