Shaquille Harrison Could Have Role To Play For Grizzlies Early On
Memphis Grizzlies guard Shaquille Harrison could see regular action early on in the season due to Ja Morant's 25-game suspension. Damichael Cole of The Commercial Appeal has noted that according to the NBA collective bargaining agreement, any player suspended more than six games will be put on the team's suspended list after five. That will open a roster spot, and Harrison could be the one to benefit and add more depth to the Grizzlies lineup. The 29-year-old has seen very little action in the NBA in recent seasons and suited up for just five regular-season games in 2022-23 after the Trail Blazers gave him a run on a 10-day contract. Harrison has averaged 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals for his NBA career, so he won't set the world alight, but the versatile veteran, who can play both guard positions, could provide some useful minutes for the Grizzlies.
According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the Lakers have added a second year to guard Shaquille Harrison's contract. He'll now receive a non-guaranteed salary of $2.4 million, and it gives Los Angeles a trade asset this offseason or at least a player who will compete for a roster spot. The 29-year-old journeyman has played for six teams over the years (excluding LA) and averaged 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 180 career games. However, he's not expected to be a reliable fantasy contributor anytime soon.
Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison will not be returning next season as the organization did not extend a qualifying offer to him. He'll become an unrestricted free agent and should have decent market value. Harrison is a reliable defender, but it's unlikely that he holds fantasy value in basically any formats. The Bulls have too many options, so they'd rather let Harrison play elsewhere.
Shaquille Harrison Explodes For Season-High 25 Points
Chicago Bulls point guard Shaquille Harrison had a breakout performance in Friday's 108-102 loss to the Pacers, amassing 25 points, four rebounds, four assists, two blocks, and three steals in a season-high 34 minutes of play. This was easily the best game of the season for the seldom-used guard as he filled the stat sheet, recorded his season-high point total, and went 5-for-6 from downtown. Put into the starting lineup because of injuries to key guys like Zach LaVine (quad), Ryan Arcidiacono (Achilles), and Chandler Hutchison (shoulder), the 26-year-old did not disappoint with this opportunity. He now has 42 points and eight threes in the last two games, and his next chance to build on that comes Sunday against the Nets.
Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison (knee) did not suit up for Tuesday's practice. Harrison has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Bulls have plenty of depth in the backcourt, so it'll be tough for Harrison to carve out a role. He has some upside, assuming he gets regular minutes, but most likely he won't be worth drafting in most formats.
Shaquille Harrison Delivers 15-Point Outing In Loss
Chicago Bulls point guard/small forward Shaquille Harrison continued his recent stretch of solid production during Saturdays loss to the Toronto Raptors, dropping 15 points in his sixth consecutive start. Harrison has now averaged 13.5 points and 6.8 rebounds over his last six games, with the Bulls clearly comfortable handing him a pile of minutes to close out 2018-19. With many of Chicagos regulars out of the picture, he has logged double-digit shot attempts in each of his last three games, next set to face the New York Knicks on Monday, who are similarly looking to give many of their youngsters an extended look, which could make Harrison an appealing DFS play.
Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison led a makeshift Bulls roster on Wednesday night in scoring against the Portland Trail Blazers and continues to prove his offensive firepower with recent performances. The second-year guard from the University of Tulsa posted a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds against the Blazers, coming on high usage as he shot 10-for-17 from the field and 1-for-2 from deep. Harrison looks to shoot for his 15-point average over the last four games in a Saturday matchup against the Toronto Raptors.
Shaquille Harrison Snatches Career-High Nine Rebounds
Chicago Bulls point guard/small forward Shaquille Harrison logged 38 minutes during Saturdays loss to the Utah Jazz, utilizing his time on the floor to grab a career-high nine rebounds, adding six points, two assists and two blocks. Harrison provides little by way of offensive contributions, but Chicago appears comfortable to hand him a pile of minutes as long as Otto Porter is out of the mix. Harrison boasts strong DFS upside due to his minutes total alone and is worth monitoring ahead of Tuesdays match-up with the Toronto Raptors.
Shaquille Harrison Enjoys Start Against Washington
Chicago Bulls point guard Shaquille Harrison performed very well in his second start of the season on Wednesday, finishing a 126-120 overtime win against Washington with 18 points, six rebounds, and four steals. He nailed his only three-point attempt and shot 7-for-13 overall from the field in 39 minutes. Harrison will likely return to the bench on Saturday when Zach LaVine (thigh) returns, but he should still have fantasy value, having averaged 22.5 minutes per game this month. He's a versatile guard, who's got plenty in his bag of tricks both offensively and defensively. Wednesday was his second consecutive game with four steals.
Shaquille Harrison Logs 32 Minutes In First Start Of Year
Chicago Bulls point guard/small forward Shaquille Harrison entered the starting five for Mondays victory over the Phoenix Suns in place of Otto Porter. It was the first start in 63 games for Harrison this season, getting to face-off against the team he made his NBA debut with last year. He tied his season high with 32 minutes of action, collecting six points, four steals and three rebounds. He played well enough to assume he could remain in the starting lineup Wednesday against Washington should Porter remain out, but its worth confirming before rostering him in DFS lineups.
