He developed into a prominent athlete during his high school years at Wauwatosa East, excelling in basketball and briefly in volleyball. Despite initial injury setbacks, Harris had a standout senior season in high school, setting scoring records and being named Wisconsin’s ‘Mr. Basketball’ in 2001. His collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was marked by significant achievements, including two Big Ten Championships. In his junior year (2003-04), Harris emerged as a national talent, earning accolades such as Big Ten Player of the Year, Big Ten Tournament MOP, and Second Team All-American honors before declaring for the NBA draft.
Harris was selected as the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards, though he was promptly traded to the Dallas Mavericks. His rookie season with the Mavericks saw him average 5.7 points and 2.2 assists, earning him the NBA Rookie of the Month award in November 2004. Over his initial tenure with Dallas from 2004 to 2008, Harris developed significantly, improving his scoring and playmaking abilities. He played a key role in the Mavericks reaching the 2006 NBA Finals. In February 2008, Harris was traded to the New Jersey Nets, where he experienced a career highlight, being named an NBA All-Star in 2009. During his time with the Nets, he achieved career highs in points and assists.
Following his departure from the Nets in 2011, Harris played for the Utah Jazz (2011-2012) and the Atlanta Hawks (2012-2013). In 2013, he returned to the Dallas Mavericks for a second stint, providing a consistent presence off the bench. He re-signed with the Mavericks in 2014 and continued to contribute until being traded to the Denver Nuggets in February 2018. Harris then returned to the Mavericks for a third and final stint, concluding his 15-year NBA career in 2019. Post-retirement, Harris has embarked on a career as a sports analyst for MavsTV and Fox Sports, covering college basketball.
