The move seems to have come following an academic interest in the Catholic Faith, with many commentators noting that Mr Harris’s university thesis was on the famous 15th Century Dominican friar, Girolamo Savonarola.
Mr Harris played for the Dallas Mavericks during three stints between 2004 and 2019, and recently made headlines for his long-delayed graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he first enrolled after high school and was once the ‘Big Ten Player of the Year’.
