Personal

Harris' brother, Tyler, plays college basketball for Auburn University. Fellow NBA player and former teammate, Channing Frye, is Harris' cousin.

Harris wears number 12 as a tribute to his close friend and former teammate Morgan Childs, who died at age 17 due to leukemia. Although he was unable to wear 12 during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks, Harris switched back after he was traded to the Orlando Magic during the 2012-13 season.
