Former Michigan basketball standout Manny Harris is looking for a new home.

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced a pair of roster cuts Thursday, and the former Wolverine standout was one of the casulties.

By cutting Harris and fellow guard Kenny Hayes, the Cavaliers trimmed their roster to the NBA maximum of 15 players. Harris has had a foot injury and did not participate in training camp or any preseason games.

According to a report earlier this month, Harris suffered a burn on the outside of his right foot.

The burn, according to Harris’ agent Henry Thomas, was a “freezer-type burn” that led to an eventual ulcer, sidelining Harris and eventually keeping him out of preseason action.

The 6-foot-5, 185-pound Harris played in 54 games with Cleveland a season ago, averaging 5.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists.

After opting to forgo his final his senior year at Michigan following the 2009-10 season, Harris was not selected in the 2010 NBA Draft.

Harris earned a training camp invite as an undrafted rookie with the Cavaliers, eventually making the team and playing the 2010-11 season.

In three years at Michigan, Harris averaged 17 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Despite playing just three years at Michigan, Harris finished his career at No. 10 on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,668 points. The Detroit native also ended his time at No. 9 on the all-time assist list (336), No. 4 on the all-time free throw percentage list (82.74 percent) and No. 32 on the all-time rebounding list (559).

While Harris was waived Thursday, former Michigan point guard Darius Morris received better news from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Morris, who set Michigan’s single-season assist record as a sophomore last year, made the Lakers’ 15-man roster.

The former Wolverine point guard finished with 11 points, three rebounds and three assists in his preseason debut Monday. Morris did not play in Los Angeles’ second preseason game Wednesday, due to a coach’s decision.

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Authorities in suburban Detroit say Detroit Pistons center Ben Wallace has been charged with drunken driving and unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon after a traffic stop.

Bloomfield Township police said Thursday that the 37-year-old Wallace was arrested about 3 a.m. Saturday after officers observed a Cadillac Escalade being driven erratically. Police said they found an unloaded pistol in a backpack.

Officers say Wallace was given a blood-alcohol test and he was above Michigan’s legal limit of 0.08 percent.

Police declined to provide further details.

Wallace, who helped the Pistons win the 2004 NBA title, was arraigned and released on a $5,000 personal bond. His next court hearing is Monday.

Wallace attended Cleveland Community College (1992-94) and played for the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2008-09.
