    So, I didn't catch much of the last Rocket's broadcast, but I've noticed that Harris has seemed to disappear. Forgive me if I just missed something obvious, but are we left to assume he just hasn't made the cut?

    I think Bill and Bull said it was an ankle issue.

    I had the same question but after reading some Chron stuff I know now he's got sprained ankle.

    It lowers his chances to be on the team. Feel bad for him...

    I believe a player can't be cut when he's injured. That was the case when we signed Dion Glover a few years back. Maybe that's his way to keep a roster spot.
    Personnaly I don't think he has a chance to make the team with the addition of Artest and Landry.

    There's no room for him now and we have Battier who hasn't even played yet.

    and who won't play for at least a month...

    I tip Harris to make the squad - currently we only have 5 bigs --> it's not going to hurt to have a guy who can play the 3/4 on the roster - AND who is a pretty tidy player too.

    Battier will miss the preseason but will be ready for the season opener.

    Season opener -> october 29
    Today -> october 16

    Conclusion -> he's not going to be out for 'at least a month'

    Are you sure Harris can't get cut because he is injured? If thats true, Wafer and Strawberry are playing hard to get the attention of other teams.

    Isn't Harris a graduate from Rice? If he does get cut, I doubt he'll have any trouble in a different profession. Major props for him going for something he loves though.

    I thought we cut Campell because he was injured.
