Aaron Harrison: To play in Turkey
Harrison has agreed to a contract with Turkish club Galatasaray, Sportnado.com reports.
Harrison appeared in nine games with the Mavericks last year, averaging 6.7 points on 27.5 percent shooting in 25.9 minutes. He spent most of the year in the G-League. There, he started 17 of his 41 appearances and averaged 18.7 points on 43.6 percent shooting. He was a notably good three-point shooter, drilling 2.8 per game at 42.5 percent. Still only 23 years old, Harrison will presumably use his time overseas to refine his skillset before attempting an NBA comeback.

Wizards' Aaron Harrison: Struggles with shot in summer league loss
Harrison tallied 12 points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 89-74 summer league loss to the Clippers.
Harrison saw fairly limited minutes off the bench, but he wasn't afraid to launch up shots, finishing third on the team with 10 field goal attempts. He hit a meager 20 percent of those shots and just 28.6 percent of his three-pointers, though Harrison's work at the free-throw line still allowed him to hit double figures in scoring. At this point, it's unclear if Harrison will receive a training camp invite from the Wizards, but he should at least have one more shot at impressing the staff in a summer league consolation matchup in the coming few days.

Harrison posted 12 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 72-59 summer league loss to the Cavaliers.
Though he struggled with efficiency across the board, Harrison was the team's third-leading scorer and secured a team-high six boards. The former Kentucky product will likely have to put together better outings if he hopes to make a roster spot in Washington.

Mavericks' Aaron Harrison: Starting Wednesday vs. Orlando
Harrison is starting at shooting guard for Wednesday's contest against the Magic, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Mavericks' Aaron Harrison: Will sign for rest of season
Harrison will sign a contract with the Mavericks to remain in Dallas for the rest of the season, Bobby Karalla of Mavs.com reports.
Since joining the Mavericks on a 10-day contract March 21, Harrison has seen action in four games, posting averages of 4.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 20.5 minutes. He's provided a solid bench presence in the backcourt and should continue to do so over the last six games of the season. That said, despite having a role in the regular rotation, Harrison isn't putting up strong enough numbers to be a viable fantasy option in the bulk of fantasy leagues, so he can continue to be avoided for the time being.

Harrison, a 6-foot-6 guard out of Kentucky, has played just 110 minutes at the NBA level since going unselected in the 2015 NBA Draft. He's played well in the G-League this season, however, earning him another shot -- this time with the Mavericks rather than the Hornets. With the G-League's Reno Bighorns, Harrison has averaged 18.7 points in 26.9 minutes, while notably drilling 2.8 threes at a 42.5 percent clip.
