Gary Harris gave Magic a stabilizing force, veteran leadership
Contract status: Harris completed the third year of a four-year contract extension signed in 2017 after coming to Orlando in a March 25 trade that sent Aaron Gordon to Denver. Harris is set to earn $20.5 million next season.
The buzz: After being traded, Harris missed seven games due to a leg injury before he made his Magic debut on April 9 and played 17 minutes off the bench. Two days later, Harris was in the starting lineup as Orlando continued to shuffle its lineup because of injuries and he remained there for the rest of the season. The leg injury, which sidelined him for 31 games overall, did not appear to bother Harris after his return.
