Previously, he served as the general manager of the Stockton Kings, where he was involved in roster construction and team operations, leading the team to the G League playoffs. His hiring represents a modern approach to roster management, according to head coach Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, who emphasized that Harris's experience will help build a championship-caliber program.

State of Play
  • Stockton is competing in the NBA G League Playoffs, currently as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
  • The G League playoffs will conclude with the Finals scheduled for April 13.
What's Next
