In a previous NBA Development League game, the Houston Rockets defeated the Texas Legends, an affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks, 133-126 at home in the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an affiliate of the NBA Development League. After this game, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers finally got their first victory of the season, with a current record of 1 win and 2 losses; while the Texas Legends' record dropped to 2 wins and 3 losses.

In this game, the performance of Kevon Harris, a two-way contract wing player who was sent to the NBA Development League by the Rockets for training, was quite satisfactory, and he could be considered to have improved to a certain extent compared to the previous two games. Harris played 34 minutes, shooting 6 of 13, 3 of 7 from beyond the arc, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. He also had 3 fouls. His plus-minus reached a game-high +16. Harris has maintained stable efficiency on the offensive end and demonstrated comprehensive scoring ability. He has not messed around too much on the offensive end. He has also shown a certain passing ability and support ability, and he has maintained sufficient concentration on the defensive end. At least in this game, Harris' performance can be regarded as both offensive and defensive. He also showed his comprehensive personal abilities and made his own contribution to the team's victory.

Harris was born in June 1997. He is 28 years old, 196cm tall and 98kg in weight. He is the undrafted pick in the 2020 NBA draft. In the NBA, Harris has experience playing for the Orlando Magic. This summer, the Rockets signed Harris with a two-way contract, and he was able to return to the NBA. In the previous NBA preseason games, Harris played a total of 3 times for the Rockets, averaging 12.9 minutes per game. He averaged 7.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 0.3 steals per game. He also had 0.3 turnovers and 1.3 fouls. He shot 38.5% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line. Harris still showed some characteristics during the preseason, and he can still provide certain support to the team in terms of outside shooting. However, so far, he has not had a chance to play in the NBA.

So far, Harris has averaged 29 minutes per game in the first three NBA Development League games, averaging 18.3 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game. He also has 2.3 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 44.7%, 45.5% from three-point range, and 72.7% from free throws. Harris' performance in the first two games was very average and did not show the characteristics he should have. Considering that he is not young anymore and he has performed very well in the NBA Development League before, everyone has high hopes for him. He should have played a more important role in the team. In this game, Harris' performance finally improved, but it was still not a top-level performance. If Harris wants to secure this two-way contract and get a chance to play in the NBA, he will have to work harder in the next games.
