2020
Harris' third season with the 76ers saw plenty of improvements, especially in his defensive ability.

Harris solidified his consistent threat to record a double-double as he finished the year with 15 double-doubles. Harris sniffed his first career triple-double in a game on March 20 where he logged 29 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes. The tenth-year forward even had a strong season defensively with one of his best performances coming against the Hornets on Jan. 2, where Harris notched four steals and three blocks in a win. Defensively, the 2020-21 season was exceptional for Harris, who finished fourth on his team in blocks (0.8) in the regular season and fourth in steals (1.0) in the postseason.
2019
In his ninth NBA season, Harris saw action in 72 of the Sixers' 73 regular-season contests. In 34.3 minutes per game, Harris averaged 19.6 points -- the second-highest mark of his career. Harris also tacked on 6.9 rebounds and a career-best 3.2 assists per game.

2017
The 2017-18 season represented the third time that Harris has split a season between two teams, as a midseason trade sent him from Detroit to Southern California to join the Clippers on Jan. 29. Harris's top three scoring efforts -- and four of his six 30-point games -- all came with Detroit, but he actually saw his points per game increase from 18.1 to 19.3 after the trade. On the whole, he played in 80 games, averaging 18.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 33.4 minutes.

2016
Harris appeared in all 82 games for the Detroit Pistons during the 2016-17 regular season, starting 48 times. He averaged 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per contest while making a career-high 48.1 percent of his shots. Harris led the Pistons in scoring and was third in rebounding.

Harris tied his career high with three blocks at Brooklyn on Mar. 21. He also collected a season-high three steals twice.
2015
Signed by the Magic to a four-year, $64 million contract extension in the summer of 2015, Harris appeared to be a future building block for Orlando. Yet at February's trade deadline, the team changed course, dealing Harris to Detroit in exchange for Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings. Harris thrived following the move, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 27 appearances with the Pistons. He made his Detroit debut with a 21-point effort against Washington on Feb. 19; counting the playoffs, he went on to score in double figures 28 times in Detroit's remaining 31 games. Harris chipped in a pair of double-digit rebounding efforts in addition to five performances in which he racked up five assists. He was also effective in the playoffs, nearly averaging a double-double with 14.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
2014
After three years of flashing impressive potential, Harris enjoyed a breakout season for the Magic in 2014-15. He again set a new career high in scoring with 17.1 points per game -- a full 2.5 more than the season prior. He added 6.3 rebounds and a career-high 1.0 steal per game. The scoring increase came with a drastic improvement to his perimeter shooting, as Harris sharply increased his three-point percentage to 36.4 and averaged 1.3 threes per game, a significant rise from 0.5 the season prior. On Feb. 4 at San Antonio, the versatile forward posted 23 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers. Harris set a new career high with 34 points on 14-of-18 shooting Feb. 6 against the Lakers. He also compiled 11 double-doubles on the year, including a pair of 16-rebound games in the season's first month. Unsurprisingly, given his evolution as a shooter, Harris set a new personal best for threes in a game by making five of his nine attempts from downtown as part of a 23-point, 10-rebound effort against the Bucks on Apr. 4.
2013
Harris enjoyed a productive season for Orlando in 2013-14. He capitalized on increased opportunities to set new career bests in games played (61), points per game (14.6) and rebounds per game (7.0). He also set a new single-game personal best with 20 rebounds alongside 28 points Jan. 24 against the Lakers. Harris later scored a career-high 31 points against the Sixers on Mar. 2. The Tennessee product remained a commendable shooter both from the field (46.4 percent) and at the line (80.7 percent) while continuing to limit his turnovers (a mere 1.3 per game). He also played effectively on defense, most notably racking up four steals and a block Mar. 12 against Denver. Harris' scoring average of 14.6 ppg was good for second on the team, trailing only Aaron Afflalo. His rebounding mark of 7.0 rpg was bested only by Nikola Vucevic. Harris' three-point field goal percentage (.254) went down a tick, but he had a career-best shooting percentage on two-point baskets (.508). He also set a personal best with 1,850 total minutes played, setting the stage to again be a key piece in the Magic rotation in 2014-15.
2012
Harris began the 2012-13 season in Milwaukee before the Magic acquired him in a February trade and quickly increased the young forward's usage rate. The sophomore forward went from averaging 11.6 minutes a night with the Bucks to 36.1 with Orlando. The increased playing time with Orlando led to per-game averages of 17.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 blocks over 27 games in his new uniform. He delivered the first two 30-point games of his career -- both double-doubles -- after the uniform change. On Mar. 29, the young forward generated 30 points, 11 rebounds three blocks and three steals in a home win over the Wizards. On Apr. 10 versus his old Bucks team, Harris delivered 30 points, a career-high 19 rebounds and five assists in the win. All told, Harris racked up nine double-doubles on the year, all of which came after being traded to the Magic.
2011
The Charlotte Bobcats took Harris with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, then dealt him to Milwaukee in a complicated three-team draft-night trade. Harris stood out on the court every time he got the opportunity. His season averages of 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds reflected significant potential, coming as they did in a mere 11.4 minutes per game. Harris scored in double digits in all but one of the games in which he played 20-plus minutes, with his greatest output a 19-point effort on Feb. 4 against the Bulls. Unleashed for 35-plus minutes in each of the season's final two games, Harris delivered a 15-point, 13-rebound gem against the Sixers for his first career double-double, then followed it up with 16 points and nine rebounds against Boston to close out the year.
