Harris played just nine minutes per game over the last season and a half for the Cavs, averaging just 2.5 points per game. Harris underwent potentially season-ending foot surgery in early January, and was likely never going to see the floor this season with the Cavs depth at the guard position.
Good luck on recovering from the injury and in your NBA future, Joe Harris!
