After six seasons in the NBA, the 29-year-old guard, Shaquille Harrison, could potentially make a move to Europe. Following his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, Eurohoops sources indicate that he has been offered to EuroLeague teams.
There is strong interest in Harrison’s services, suggesting that a move to Europe for the first time in his career might be in the works.
After playing four years of college basketball at Tulsa, he went undrafted in the 2016 NBA Draft. He then played for the Northern Arizona Suns, the G League affiliate of the Phoenix Suns, and eventually made his NBA debut in February 2018, later even securing a contract.
During the 2018-19 season, Harrison initially got waived, but he later signed with the Chicago Bulls and spent a season in the Windy City.
Subsequently, he had stints with the Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets, and Brooklyn Nets. Harrison showcased his skills in the G League, playing for the Delaware Blue Coats and South Bay Lakers, where he won the Defensive Player of the Year award and received All-Defensive Team honors.
His performances caught the attention of the Portland Trail Blazers and the LA Lakers. However, he only made five appearances with the Trail Blazers, averaging 8.8 points, six assists, and 4.4 rebounds in the regular season. During the playoffs, he played eight games for the Lakers, averaging 3.5 minutes on the court.
