Off injury report Harris (illness) isn't listed on Cincinnati's initial injury report ahead of Thursday against West Virginia.

Impact Harris returned to practice Monday after besting an illness that sidelined him for two games. Thus, it's no surprise that the guard is now available for the Bearcats, who will look to snap a four-game losing streak Thursday against the Mountaineers.

Impact Harris had a nasty bout with the flu, according to Cincinnati head coach Wes Miller. Harris was unable to practice for a full week due to the illness, but he returned to the practice court Monday, giving him a chance at suiting up for Thursday's game against West Virginia. Harris has missed two straight games.

Out once again Harris (illness) is out for Saturday's game at Houston.

Impact Harris will miss a second straight game while dealing with an illness, and his absence is significant since he's averaging 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his previous eight starts. Jalen Celestine should remain in the lineup with Harris sidelined.

Out with illness Harris (illness) is out Wednesday against Baylor, the program announced.

Impact Harris had started the previous eight games for Cincinnati, averaging 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in that span. He'll miss his first game of the season Wednesday night as he battles an illness, and will look to return to action on Jan. 31 at Houston.

Filling in for Kriisa Harris contributed 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Saturday's 79-70 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Harris has been the main beneficiary of Kerr Kriisa (shoulder) missing time, as he's started the last six games for Cincinnati and is posting 7.0 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 2.5 apg and 1.3 spg over that stretch. While those are respectable numbers, look for those to take a bit of a hit upon Kriisa's eventual return. After an 0-3 start to Big 12 play, Cincinnati has now won two in a row, with Saturday's victory representing by far its best win of the season. Things don't get any easier with a road trip to Arizona set for Wednesday.

Impact Harris got his first start of the season after a ten-point performance last week, but he wasn't as impressive as probably hoped in the win over Lipscomb. Still, he didn't need to be a scoring machine with the Bearcats having no problem getting a win. It's unknown if the junior guard will stay in the starting lineup for a tough game this Saturday versus Houston.

Records new career-high Harris logged 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 73-55 win over TCU.

Impact Harris is far from the primary offensive focal point for West Virginia, but he's started all 28 games this season for the Mountaineers and showed Tuesday he's capable of a good shooting night when given the opportunity. The 6-4 guard offers little from distance, however, as he's just 6-for-49 (12.2 percent) from three-point land on the season.
