Harris and his Kentucky teammate Michael Porter collided during Wednesday night's 103-61 victory over against Lamar, chasing a loose ball.

Harris suffered a blow to the back of his head and lay on the court moaning in pain before being taken off on a stretcher. He was alert and had movement in his extremities upon arriving at the hospital, where he was kept overnight for observation.

Porter received 10 stitches to a laceration over his left eye.

University of Kentucky spokesman DeWayne Peevy said all of Harris' test results at the hospital have been normal.
