Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2010 NBA draft, Harris began his pro career with the NBA Development League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers. After the pre-season, he was not signed, however. On February 8, 2011, he signed a deal with Trotamundos in Venezuela's top-level LPB league.[2] He then joined Ningxia Hanas until the end of the season. On his debut, in a 106–95 win over Hangzhou, Harris started and played 33 minutes, scoring 16 points. He also pulled down 7 rebounds and picked up 3 steals.[3]

On December 6, 2011, Harris was reacquired by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the NBA Development League where he stayed for one season before joining BG Göttingen. The next three seasons, he returned to the NBA Development League playing again with Fort Wayne Mad Ants, having also a small spell at Mexico, where he played with Rayos de Hermosillo.[4]

On 2016, Harris moved to Iowa Energy. His really good performances caused the interest of the Memphis Grizzlies, but he never joined the team.[5] The next season, he played again in the NBA Development League this time for Grand Rapids Drive.[6]

On August 15, 2017, he joined Kolossos Rodou of the Greek Basket League.[7] He joined Rethymno Cretan Kings in 2019. Harris averaged 5.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 2019–20.[8]
