What happened: Harvey will be classified as a local player and can hold marquee status. The guard has played for Illawarra since 2020.
Why it matters: The reigning NBL champions can pair their long-time guard with a broader mix of overseas talent. Marquee treatment also lowers the fixed amount of his salary counted against the cap.
By the numbers: Harvey has averaged 17.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists across 194 NBL games. He has earned two All-NBL First Team selections and won the 2024-25 championship.
What to watch: Illawarra's recruitment priorities will come into focus as the club decides how to use its vacant import slots.
