The Houston Rockets had a talented player on a two-way contract averaging nearly 20 points per game int he G League.
But he won't be joining them in the NBA anytime soon.
Instead, Kevon Harris has signed a contract to play in China.
NBA insider Michael Scotto reported Saturday that Harris has signed a contract with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.
Harris has averaged 19.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in the G League this season.
Harris is a 6-foot-5, 28-year old guard who played his college basketball at Stephen F. Austin.
He has appeared in 36 total NBA games.

Of those, 34 came in the 2022-23 season with the Orlando Magic. That campaign, he put up 4.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
Harris then played two more games, and six minutes total, in the 2023-24 season with the Magic.
This contract in China is a chance for Harris likely to get a solid payday and a starring role.
At his age, he could still work a path back to the NBA if he signs in China, or he could parlay it into European opportunities in the future, too.
All that's for sure is that Harris is heading abroad to continue his hoops career.
