NBA reinstates restricted free agent Jalen Harris after drug suspension

Jalen Harris has been reinstated by the NBA and National Basketball Players Association after serving a one-year suspension for a positive drug test.

The Toronto Raptors hold the guard's rights as a restricted free agent, but the team is at the maximum 20 players allowed heading into training camp.

Harris reacted to Tuesday's news by tweeting a praying hands emoji. Harris was given a one-year suspension on July 1, 2021, after testing positive for a prohibited substance under the NBA/NBPA anti-drug program.

The 24-year-old Dallas native spent the past few months playing for the expansion Scarborough Shooting Stars of the Canadian Elite Basketball League, averaging 19.9 points a game on 41 per cent shooting.
