Harris was dismissed from the league on July 1, 2021, for testing positive for a prohibited substance under the NBA/NBPA Anti–Drug Program.

As a first-year player at the time, he was eligible to reapply after a year.

Harris averaged 7.4 points and 13.2 minutes in 13 games during the 2020–21 season for Toronto on a two–way contract. He also played seven regular–season games and two playoff games for Raptors 905 in the G League.

Toronto drafted Harris with the 59th pick in 2020. He spent his first two college seasons at Louisiana Tech and averaged 21.7 points for Nevada in 2019–20.

During a suspension year, Harris played for Vanoli Cremona (Italy) and Scarborough Shooting Stars (Canada).
