Former Raptor Jalen Harris reinstated by NBA

The NBA has reinstated former Toronto Raptors second round draft pick Jalen Harris after a yearlong suspension.

Harris was suspended last summer after testing positive for a “prohibited substance,” in accordance with the league’s anti-drug policies.

The reinstatement means Harris is now a restricted free agent; the Raptors hold his rights and can re-sign him, but the team currently has 20 players under contract — the maximum allowable heading into training camp.
