In an article for ESPN, Uluc wrote: “Harrell — an eight-year NBA veteran — has faced complications following a doping violation he was found guilty of while playing in China over the off-season, sources said, with the 36ers unable to navigate around the situation.”

The 31-year-old, who won the 2020 NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award, averaged 20.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and two assists per game during the NBL25 season.
