Enters portal Harris (ankle) has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Harris was going back-and-forth on returning to Memphis for the upcoming season but appears he will be looking for a better opportunity at another school. The 6-foot guard was limited to just 16 appearances due to injury and averaged 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds on 11.6 minutes.

Returning to Memphis Harris has decided to return to Memphis for the 2025-26 campaign, Parth Upadhyaya of DailyMemphian.com reports.

Impact Although previous reports suggested Harris was entering the transfer portal, it appears he will be returning for his second season with the team. The senior guard averaged 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 11.6 minutes across 16 appearances.

Out for first round Harris (ankle) is out for Memphis' first-round game Friday against Colorado State, according to Parth Upadhyaya of The Daily Memphian.

Impact Harris' high ankle sprain continues to be a problem, so much so that it will force him to log his fifth consecutive DNP in what could very well be his last game as a collegiate athlete should Memphis lose against Colorado State. Memphis' team is also without Tyrese Hunter (foot), meaning the Tigers will have to rely on Baraka Okojie starting at point guard, with some of their wing players occasionally playing out of position.

MARCH 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Friday Harris (ankle) is a game-time decision for Memphis' game Friday against Colorado State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact It is gameday for Memphis, and Harris' matchup availability will be pushed to the limit. Tyrese Hunter (foot) is out Friday, so the Tigers could really use Harris to ensure both experience and depth at their point guard position. When both Harris and Hunter sat out the 2025 AAC Championship Game, Baraka Okojie served as Memphis' primary point.

Questionable Friday Harris (ankle) has started running in practice and is questionable for Friday's NCAA Tournament first-round matchup against Colorado State, per Jason Munz of the Commercial Appeal.

Impact Harris will be looking to make his return to aciton after missing each of the team's last four games with an ankle injury. The news that he's been running is certainly a step in the right direction, but head coach Penny Hardaway made it clear Harris remains questionable agaisnt the Rams.

MARCH 19, 2025 • Associated Press

Solid recovery pace Harris (ankle) is ahead of Tyrese Hunter (foot) in terms of injury recovery, according to Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Impact Currently, Memphis' team has two rotation players on the shelf, both point guards in Harris and Hunter. If the team's head coach Penny Hardaway is to be believed, Harris is ahead of Hunter in terms of progress. This means there is a better chance Harris returns for Memphis' first-round game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, though both are neither ruled available nor out yet. There is also a chance Harris is available while Hunter is not, meaning the Tigers likely lean on the former at least a little more at point guard going into a matchup with Colorado State.

Out for AAC Championship Harris (ankle) will not appear in Sunday's AAC Championship game, Jonah Dylan of the Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Harris will remain sidelined as the Tigers face off against the winner of today's matchup between UNT and UAB in the AAC Title game. The 6-foot senior has been inactive since March 4, as a result of the injury. Harris, who is averaging 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals on 11.6 minutes per game, will look to rest up ahead of next week's NCAA Tournament.

MARCH 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for AAC Tournament Harris (ankle) is doubtful for the 2025 American Athletic Conference Tournament, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Memphis will log between one and three games during the 2025 American Athletic Conference Tournament. The first (and possibly only) of Memphis' three games is scheduled for Friday against either South Florida or Wichita State. Rothstein's statement indicates Harris must depend on Memphis' team to keep his collegiate career alive, though him out the coming weekday is not yet assured.
