Devin Lamar Harris (born February 27, 1983) is an American sports analyst and former professional basketball player who spent 15 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a point guard known for his exceptional speed, defensive prowess, and playmaking ability.[1][2] Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Harris attended Wauwatosa East High School before playing college basketball for the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 2001 to 2004, where he averaged 19.5 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game as a junior, earning consensus second-team All-American honors, Big Ten Player of the Year, and Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player accolades while leading the Badgers to three conference titles.[3][4][5] Selected fifth overall in the 2004 NBA draft by the Washington Wizards (with rights immediately traded to the Dallas Mavericks), Harris began his professional career with Dallas, where he developed into a key reserve before becoming a starter with the New Jersey Nets from 2008 to 2011.[1][6] Over his NBA tenure, he played for six teams—Dallas Mavericks (2004–2008, 2013–2019), New Jersey Nets (2008–2011), Utah Jazz (2010–2012), Atlanta Hawks (2012–2013), and Denver Nuggets (2017–2018)—appearing in 1,049 regular-season games with career averages of 10.8 points, 3.9 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.[1][6] Harris's most notable achievement came in the 2008–09 season with the Nets, when he was selected to the NBA All-Star Game as an Eastern Conference reserve, averaging 21.3 points and 6.9 assists to lead New Jersey to the playoffs.[7][6] He set a personal best of 47 points in a single game against the Phoenix Suns on November 30, 2008, and holds a Guinness World Record for the fastest baseline-to-baseline dribble in basketball at 3.93 seconds.[1][8] Following his retirement after the 2018–19 season with the Mavericks, Harris returned to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to complete his bachelor's degree in history on December 17, 2023, two decades after leaving early for the NBA, while balancing family responsibilities as the father of three daughters.[9] In his post-playing career, he has worked as a basketball analyst for Fox Sports and NBA TV, primarily covering Dallas Mavericks games and select college matchups, and serves as a motivational speaker on topics including leadership and perseverance.[10][11][12]Early life and high school
Early life
Devin Harris was born on February 27, 1983, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[1] He is the son of Terry Harris and Julie Harris.[13] Harris has a brother named Bruce.[14] His father, Terry, worked as an employment manager for the mining equipment company Harnischfeger P&H in the Milwaukee area and served as a significant role model in Harris's life.[13] Raised in Milwaukee, Harris grew up in a supportive family environment that emphasized values and personal development.[15] From an early age, his father believed in his potential for a professional basketball career, often sharing that aspiration during family outings to Milwaukee Bucks games.[15] Harris began playing basketball as a toddler, developing an initial passion for the sport through informal play and local influences in his Milwaukee neighborhood.[8] During his elementary school years, he also showed interest in other athletics, including volleyball, reflecting a broad engagement with physical activities before focusing more intensely on basketball.[8]High school career
Devin Harris attended Wauwatosa East High School in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where he initially competed in both basketball and volleyball as a freshman. He discontinued volleyball after his sophomore year to concentrate on basketball but sat out that season due to injury.[8][1] Harris returned for his junior year with marked improvement and excelled as a senior in the 2000–2001 season, emerging as the school's all-time leading scorer with 582 points that year while averaging over 30 points per game. Over his high school career, he amassed 1,082 total points. His standout performance earned him recognition as the Wisconsin Associated Press Player of the Year, Wisconsin Mr. Basketball, and Gatorade Wisconsin Boys Basketball Player of the Year in 2001.[16][17][18][19] Despite earlier injuries limiting his exposure to major college programs, Harris drew interest from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, committing to play for coach Dick Bennett; however, Bennett retired shortly before Harris's arrival, leading him to compete under Bo Ryan instead.[8]College career
2001–02 season
As a true freshman during the 2001–02 season, Devin Harris earned an immediate starting role at point guard for the Wisconsin Badgers, playing in all 32 games and averaging 34.2 minutes per contest.[3] He contributed significantly to the team's backcourt, showcasing his scoring ability with 12.3 points per game on 41.3% field goal shooting and 36.6% from three-point range, while also recording 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.[3] Harris's defensive quickness and perimeter shooting helped stabilize a young lineup under first-year head coach Bo Ryan, though the Badgers finished 19–13 overall and 11–5 in Big Ten play, tying for first in the conference before a second-round NCAA Tournament exit.[20] Harris demonstrated rapid adjustment to the college level, transitioning from his standout high school career in Milwaukee—where he was named Wisconsin Mr. Basketball—to handling full-time starting duties without a redshirt year.[21] His poise was evident in key matchups, such as the season opener against UNLV, where he scored a then-career-high 20 points despite a 76–65 loss, marking the second-highest scoring debut by a Wisconsin freshman.[21] Against Big Ten rivals, Harris tallied 16 points on efficient shooting in a 77–66 road win over Purdue on January 19, helping the Badgers snap a two-game skid.[22] In the conference opener at Iowa on January 2—a 69–57 defeat—he added 10 points, including two three-pointers, providing a spark in a low-scoring affair.[23] Overall, Harris's freshman campaign laid the foundation for Wisconsin's resurgence, as his consistent production and leadership on a roster featuring upperclassmen like Charlie Wills and Kirk Penney contributed to the program's first Big Ten regular-season title in 42 years.[20] Despite the team's inconsistency away from home (6–8 record), his ability to facilitate transition plays and defend multiple positions highlighted his potential as a foundational player.[3]2002–03 season
In his sophomore season, Devin Harris solidified his role as the starting point guard for the Wisconsin Badgers, starting all 32 games and averaging 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, marking a notable increase in playmaking efficiency from his freshman year's 1.8 assists per game.[3] His improved court vision and decision-making contributed to a more balanced offensive attack, with Harris often facilitating for teammates like Kirk Penney and Alando Tucker while maintaining a solid scoring presence.[3] Defensively, Harris emerged as a standout, leading the team with 2.0 steals per game, a significant leap from his rookie season, which helped Wisconsin rank among the nation's top defensive units by allowing just 59.3 points per game.[24] This on-ball pressure and quick hands disrupted opponents' rhythms, earning him recognition as a key leader on a squad that emphasized disciplined, team-oriented play under coach Bo Ryan.[24] The Badgers finished the season with a 24–8 overall record and 12–4 in Big Ten play, capturing the program's first outright conference regular-season title since 1947.[24] In the NCAA Tournament, as a No. 5 seed in the Midwest Region, Wisconsin advanced to the Sweet Sixteen by defeating No. 12 Weber State 81–74 in the first round and No. 4 Tulsa 61–60 in the second round before falling 63–57 to No. 1 Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen.[25] Harris's breakout campaign included his first major conference accolades, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and third-team from the media, along with a Big Ten Player of the Week award on January 6 following strong performances against Indiana and Northwestern.[17][26]2003–04 season
In his junior season, Devin Harris emerged as the focal point of the Wisconsin Badgers' offense, averaging 19.5 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game while starting all 32 contests.[3] His scoring prowess, highlighted by multiple 30-plus point outings including a career-high 38 against Minnesota, propelled the Badgers to a 25–7 overall record and second place in the Big Ten regular-season standings.[27][28] Harris's standout play earned him Big Ten Player of the Year honors from both coaches and media, along with unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team.[29][30] He also garnered second-team All-American recognition from the Associated Press and other outlets, capping a season in which he ranked among the conference leaders in scoring and steals.[31] In the postseason, Harris led Wisconsin to the Big Ten Tournament championship, where he was named Most Outstanding Player after scoring 29 points in the title game victory over Illinois.[32] As the No. 6 seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament, the Badgers defeated Richmond 76–64 in the first round before falling to No. 3 Pittsburgh 59–55 in the second round.[25] Following the season, Harris announced his decision to forgo his senior year and declare for the 2004 NBA draft, officially entering on June 3 after initially retaining the option to return by not hiring an agent.[33][34]NBA career
2004 NBA draft
Harris was selected by the Washington Wizards with the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2004 NBA draft out of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.[1] His selection was influenced by a standout junior season in which he earned Big Ten Player of the Year honors and led Wisconsin to the NCAA Tournament.[35] Immediately following the draft, the Wizards traded Harris's draft rights, along with forwards Jerry Stackhouse and Christian Laettner, to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for forward Antawn Jamison and cash considerations.[36] Pre-draft evaluations highlighted Harris's elite speed and quickness, describing him as "as fast as they come" with the explosiveness to blow by defenders, strong defensive instincts, and the playmaking vision to thrive as an NBA point guard, though his jumper was noted as streaky.[37][38] On October 5, 2004, Harris signed a four-year rookie-scale contract with the Mavericks valued at $12,837,443, including team options for the final two seasons.[36] In the 2004 Rocky Mountain Revue summer league, Harris appeared in six games for Dallas, averaging 14.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.7 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 33.2 minutes per game, while shooting 30.7% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range.[39]Dallas Mavericks (2004–2008)
Harris was selected by the Washington Wizards with the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks on draft night in exchange for the Wizards' rights to Antawn Jamison. In his rookie season of 2004–05, Harris appeared in 76 games for Dallas, averaging 5.7 points and 2.2 assists per game while coming off the bench for most of his minutes.[1] He showed promise as a quick and defensive-minded point guard, contributing to the Mavericks' 58-win campaign and their advancement to the Western Conference semifinals.[40] During the 2005–06 season, Harris increased his production to 9.9 points and 3.2 assists per game across 56 appearances, often serving as a key reserve behind starter Jason Terry.[1] Dallas reached the NBA Finals that year, where Harris provided a brief but energetic role off the bench, averaging 7.3 points and 2.8 assists over the six-game series loss to the Miami Heat.[41] His speed and perimeter defense added depth to the backcourt during the playoff run, which included series wins over the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs. Harris earned a starting role in the 2006–07 season, playing in all 80 games with 61 starts and posting averages of 10.2 points and 3.7 assists per game.[1] The Mavericks again posted a strong regular season with 67 wins, though they fell in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors. Building on that momentum, Harris started all 39 games he played in 2007–08 before the All-Star break, posting averages of 10.6 points and 3.5 assists per game while showcasing improved scoring efficiency and playmaking.[1] On February 19, 2008, Dallas traded Harris, along with DeSagana Diop, Maurice Ager, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, and two future first-round picks, to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Jason Kidd, Malik Allen, and Antoine Wright, aiming to bolster their championship push with the veteran point guard.[42] The move ended Harris's initial four-year stint with the Mavericks, during which he developed from a promising rookie into a versatile starter capable of impacting both ends of the floor.New Jersey Nets (2008–2011)
Harris was acquired by the New Jersey Nets on February 19, 2008, in a blockbuster trade from the Dallas Mavericks that sent Jason Kidd, Malik Allen, and Antoine Wright to Dallas in exchange for Harris, Maurice Ager, DeSagana Diop, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, and two future first-round picks. Upon arriving, he immediately assumed the starting point guard role, providing a spark to the Nets' backcourt. In the remaining 25 games of the 2007–08 season, Harris averaged 15.4 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while starting 22 contests, helping to stabilize the team's offense despite their overall struggles.[1] In the 2008–09 season, Harris emerged as a cornerstone of the Nets, starting all 69 games he played and delivering career-high averages of 20.9 points, 8.5 assists, and 1.7 steals per game.[1] His dynamic playmaking and scoring prowess earned him a selection as a reserve to the 2009 NBA All-Star Game, marking his only All-Star appearance and highlighting his leadership during a transitional period for the franchise. Although the Nets finished with a 34–48 record and missed the playoffs, Harris's individual excellence provided a bright spot amid the team's rebuilding efforts.[43] Harris continued as the Nets' primary point guard over the next two seasons, but the team endured significant hardships. In 2009–10, he averaged 16.9 points and 6.6 assists across 64 games, yet the Nets posted a league-worst 12–70 record, plagued by injuries and front-office instability.[1] The following year, 2010–11, saw him contribute 15.0 points and a team-high 7.6 assists in 58 games with 50 starts, but the Nets again faltered at 24–58.[1] On February 23, 2011, midway through the season, Harris was traded to the Utah Jazz along with Derrick Favors and two first-round draft picks (2011 and 2012) in exchange for Deron Williams, ending his tenure in New Jersey.Utah Jazz (2011–2012)
Harris joined the Utah Jazz via a trade from the New Jersey Nets on February 23, 2011, in exchange for Deron Williams, along with rookie Derrick Favors and two first-round draft picks. During the 2011–12 NBA season, shortened to 66 games due to a labor lockout, Harris served as the team's starting point guard for all 63 games he appeared in, averaging 27.6 minutes per game.[44] He contributed 11.2 points, 5.0 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game, focusing on efficient playmaking and perimeter defense to support a transitional roster featuring Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap in the frontcourt.[1][45] The Jazz compiled a 36–30 record under coach Tyrone Corbin, earning the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs for the first time since 2010.[44] In the first round, Utah was swept 4–0 by the top-seeded San Antonio Spurs, with Harris averaging 11.0 points and 4.3 assists across the four games while starting all of them. Following the season, on July 11, 2012, Harris was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for forward Marvin Williams as part of the Jazz's roster retooling efforts.[46]Atlanta Hawks (2012–2013)
On July 11, 2012, the Atlanta Hawks acquired Devin Harris from the Utah Jazz in exchange for forward Marvin Williams, bringing the veteran point guard onto the roster for the final year of his contract at $8.5 million. Harris joined a backcourt led by Jeff Teague, serving primarily as a reserve guard under coach Larry Drew, where his experience as a backup from his prior stint with the Jazz proved valuable in providing depth.[1] In 55 regular-season games, mostly off the bench with 11 starts, Harris averaged 4.8 points, 2.2 assists, and 0.9 steals in 17.8 minutes per game, contributing defensively with his quick hands and perimeter pressure, though his shooting efficiency was modest at 38.8% from the field.[1] Injuries hampered his consistency, including a sore left foot that sidelined him for 11 games in December 2012 and an ankle issue in January 2013 that caused him to miss additional contests, limiting his integration into Drew's rotation, which often paired him with Teague as a secondary ball-handler and spot-up shooter.[47][48] Harris's defensive prowess became more evident in the playoffs, where he emerged as a key bench spark for the Hawks, who advanced past the Brooklyn Nets in the first round before facing the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. In the six-game series win over the Nets, he averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals, using his speed to disrupt passing lanes and force turnovers, including a standout 22-point, six-assist performance in Game 4. Against the Bulls in the semifinals, a six-game loss, Harris started all contests and averaged 4.4 points, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 28.0 minutes, highlighting his defensive impact with timely steals on guards like Kirk Hinrich and Nate Robinson, though the Hawks' offense struggled overall. His energy off the bench and ability to guard multiple positions helped stabilize Atlanta's perimeter defense during stretches, earning praise from Drew for providing "quickness and toughness" in high-stakes matchups. Following the season, Harris became an unrestricted free agent and signed a one-year, veteran's minimum contract with the Dallas Mavericks on July 31, 2013, returning to the team where he began his career.Dallas Mavericks (2013–2018)
Harris returned to the Dallas Mavericks in July 2013, signing a one-year minimum contract worth $1,265,977 after an initial three-year agreement was voided due to a toe injury requiring surgery.[49][50] He missed the first half of the 2013–14 season recovering from the August 2013 procedure on his left big toe, debuting on January 18, 2014, and appearing in 40 games as a reserve, averaging 7.9 points and 4.5 assists per game in 20.5 minutes.[51][1] In July 2014, Harris re-signed with the Mavericks on a four-year, $16.56 million contract, providing stability at the point guard position.[52] During the 2014–15 season, he played in 76 games, mostly off the bench, averaging 8.8 points and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 41.8% from the field.[1] Harris contributed to the Mavericks' Western Conference first-round playoff appearance against the Houston Rockets, playing in four games and averaging 6.0 points in 18.5 minutes.[53] Over the subsequent seasons, Harris served as a reliable veteran reserve, maintaining per-game averages of 7.6 points and 1.8 assists in 2015–16 across 64 games, and 6.7 points and 2.1 assists in 2016–17 over 65 appearances.[1] Injuries continued to impact his availability, including a right big toe sprain in October 2016 that sidelined him for the first three weeks of the 2016–17 season and required a walking boot.[54] In 2017–18, he averaged 8.5 points and 1.9 assists in 44 games before being traded to the Denver Nuggets on February 8, 2018.[1][55] As a seasoned point guard in his second stint with Dallas, Harris embraced a leadership role, forming an effective backcourt partnership with J.J. Barea and providing veteran guidance to the team's guards through his professionalism and on-court efficiency.[56][57]Denver Nuggets (2018)
On February 8, 2018, the Denver Nuggets acquired point guard Devin Harris from the Dallas Mavericks as part of a three-team trade that also involved the New York Knicks, sending Emmanuel Mudiay to New York and Doug McDermott to Dallas in exchange.[55] The 34-year-old veteran, who had recently signed a rest-of-the-season contract with Dallas following two 10-day deals in January, provided backcourt depth for a Nuggets team pushing for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.[58] Harris appeared in 27 games for Denver during the 2017–18 regular season, none as a starter, averaging 8.2 points, 2.5 assists, and 1.7 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per game while shooting 40.6 percent from the field.[59] He served in a limited reserve role behind starting point guard Jamal Murray and the team's star center Nikola Jokić, often providing veteran leadership and occasional scoring bursts off the bench, including a 15-point performance in a key April win over Minnesota that aided the playoff clinch.[60] The Nuggets finished 17–10 in the games Harris played, securing their first postseason berth since 2013.[61] Despite his contributions to the regular-season surge, Harris did not appear in the playoffs, where Denver fell to the Portland Trail Blazers in six games in the first round.[62] Following the season, his contract expired, making him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2018.[49]Dallas Mavericks (2018–2019)
On August 8, 2018, Harris signed a one-year, $2.4 million veteran's minimum contract with the Dallas Mavericks, marking his third stint with the franchise where he began his career 14 years earlier.[63] In the 2018–19 season, he appeared in 68 games off the bench, averaging 6.3 points, 1.8 assists, and 15.8 minutes per game while providing veteran leadership to a young roster featuring Luka Dončić and Jalen Brunson.[1] Early in the season, Harris missed the first 10 games due to a left hamstring strain sustained in the opener but returned to contribute steady play, including a season-high 18 points against the New York Knicks in December.[64] As the Mavericks wrapped up the regular season, Harris received an emotional recognition during the April 9, 2019, home finale against the Phoenix Suns, his last game at American Airlines Center after spending over half his career with Dallas across three periods.[65] Starting alongside retiring legend Dirk Nowitzki, Harris tallied 14 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds in the 120–109 victory, helping close out a meaningful night for the franchise's veteran core.[65] Following the season, Harris became an unrestricted free agent but did not secure another NBA contract, effectively concluding his 15-year playing career after 1,049 regular-season games.[1] Over his tenure, he amassed 10,677 points and 4,089 assists, ranking as one of the league's most durable point guards with five teams but leaving an indelible mark through his multiple returns to Dallas.[6]Career statistics and awards
