Based on the contract, Harris will likely be waived before the 2024-25 NBA season.

However, he could end up playing for the College Park Skyhawks (G League), which would give him a chance to earn a spot with the Hawks during the regular season.

The Hawks are coming off a year where they were the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 36-46 record.

They lost to the Chicago Bulls, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.

In 2021, the Hawks reached the Eastern Conference finals.
