Atlanta Hawks Have Agreed To Sign An Exhibit 10 Contract With Free Agent Guard

Free agent guard Kevon Harris will join the Hawks on an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).

A report last month indicated Harris had reached a training camp agreement with the Clippers that included the opportunity to compete for a roster spot. Scotto’s tweet doesn’t mention what happened with L.A., but Harris appears to have gotten a better offer from Atlanta.

The 27-year-old joined the Magic in 2022 on a two-way contract that covered two seasons. He appeared in 34 NBA games as a rookie, averaging 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per night, but he was limited to two games last season after missing the first part of the year with a knee issue.

Harris excelled in the G League, putting up 16.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27 regular season games with the Osceola Magic and earning a spot in the league’s Up Next game at All-Star weekend.

Harris became an unrestricted free agent in late June when the Magic decided not to extend a qualifying offer.

The Hawks have 15 fully guaranteed contracts, so Harris’ best chance to earn a roster spot might be as a two-way player. Seth Lundy, Keaton Wallace and Dominick Barlow currently hold Atlanta’s two-way slots.

If Harris gets waived, he’ll be eligible for a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he spends at least 60 days with the team’s G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks.

Harris’ signing will bring Atlanta to the offseason roster limit of 21 players.
