Fans may remember Harris most for his time with the Brooklyn Nets, but he started his career with the Wine and Gold.
Harris was originally drafted by the Cavaliers in the second round of the 2014 Draft and spent the first two seasons of his career in Cleveland. However, as a 23-year-old rookie, Harris never got a true opportunity with the Cavs, which was in win-now mode and contending for championships with LeBron James at the helm.
Cleveland then traded Harris to the Brooklyn Nets in January of 2016 in exchange for the Portland Trail Blazers’ protected 2020 second-round pick.
At the end of his time in Cleveland, Harris played in 56 games over two years, averaging just 2.6 points while shooting 44 percent from behind the arc in 10.6 minutes a game.
During this time in Brooklyn, Harris became one of the best three-point shooters in the league. He averaged 11.6 points while shooting 48 percent from the floor and 43 percent from behind the arc during his seven-year tenure with the Nets.
Harris played his final NBA season with the Detroit Pistons and only appeared in 16 games.
One of Harris’ most memorable career moments was winning the 2019 Three-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend. The field included some of the best shooters of all time, even to this in the game, such as Steph Curry, Danny Green, Damian Lillard, and Dirk Nowitzki.
Harris will always have the reputation as being one to the top three-point shooters of the late 2020s.

Cleveland boy, 13, dead following ATV crash in Erie County
ERIE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) – Ohio troopers said a 13-year-old boy died Thursday from injuries stemming from an ATV crash on Sunday afternoon.
The highway patrol has identified the victim as Lamonie Campbell from Cleveland.
The crash, which also hurt a 10-year-old boy, took place around 1:45 p.m. in the eastbound lane of State Route 113 in Milan Township.

A Toyota, operated by a Berlin Heights man, struck the ATV as it entered State Route 113 from a private drive, troopers said.
According to the highway patrol, the ATV caught fire as a result of the crash, which also sent the Toyota off the roadway before it rolled and struck a pole.
First responders first took the boys to Fisher-Titus Medical Center for treatment.
Troopers said the 13-year-old was later flown by medical helicopter to a Cleveland hospital.
There’s no update at this time on the 10-year-old’s condition.

Colt Emerson Leads Mariners Past Guardians In Return to Ohio – WHIZ – Fox 5 / Marquee Broadcasting
CLEVELAND, OH – Some three years ago, Colt Emerson was tearing it up in the Muskingum Valley League for John Glenn, on his way to being named the Gatorade Player of the Year, right here in Ohio. Now, fast forward to 2026, he returns home for the first time as a pro, as the Mariners faced the Guardians in a true homecoming for Emerson.
“Being here is special. A lot of games growing up, coming here. So it’s going to be pretty surreal” said Emerson before game one of the series in Cleveland. “I love the game, you know? I respect the game, and I’m just so grateful to be here.”
Growing up a lifelong baseball fan in Ohio, Colt always knew this day would come, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to pinc himself every now and again when he puts on the Mariners jersey.
Emerson continued, “If ten-year old me can see me sitting here, see me on the field, that’s the only thing that matters. It’s been a fun journey.”
The game started slowly for Seattle, with no runs or even hits to talk about, at least until Emerson took the plate in the third. With one swing of the bat on an inside change up from left handed pitcher Joey Cantillo, he sent one into the right field seats for a home run in his first at bat back in his home state.
“I can’t even describe it” said Emerson, with a broad grin across his face after the game. “When I saw it go out, I took my time around the bases, just to look around, you know? You grew up playing here, and your first at bat, you hit a home run. It’s cool.”
Colt had quite the efficient ball game, reaching base three times with two walks, and accounting for two of the Mariners’ runs in the three to one victory. It is his first career multi-walk, and multi-run game in the major leagues.
Emerson continues to amaze his manager, Dan Wilson, each and every game.
“Like we’ve said before, he just sees the game and he senses the game and knows what to do in the right situation, and tonight was another example of that” said Wilson.
It’s another memorable moment in the remarkable rookie career of one of John Glenn High School’s finest, as Emerson continues to provide a much-needed spark for Seattle.
The Mariners are in Cleveland for two more games this weekend before heading back on Sunday night.
