HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Magic declined team options for Gary Harris and Cory Joseph as part of the Desmond Bane trade.
The Magic upgraded their perimeter rotation with the Bane trade, which was completed on Sunday. However, the team will have some work to do this summer regarding their depth behind starters Bane and Jalen Suggs. As part of the trade, Orlando declined its team options on Harris (worth $7.5 million) and Joseph ($3.47 million). Both players will be unrestricted free agents on June 30. Neither player logged consistent rotation minutes for the Magic last season, and their exits (if they do not re-sign with Orlando) would not impact fantasy basketball.
Gary Harris (hamstring) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.
No surprise here as Harris was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old shooting guard has missed a good chunk of the season with lower body injuries. Harris isn’t fantasy relevant at this point of his career so his availability doesn’t impact fantasy basketball significantly.
Gary Harris (hamstring) is questionable to play against Denver on Thursday.
Harris has missed a lot of time since November, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was forced to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back. However, even when he suits up, Harris hasn’t played a large enough role to warrant consideration for a roster spot in fantasy basketball.
Gary Harris (hamstring) is available for Thursday’s game against Portland.
Harris is available to play in a game for the first time since January 1. Even with Jalen Suggs (quad) considered a game-time decision, Harris is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire.
