Ellender transferred to DV before the school year. The senior played in 12 games for Desert Vista, recoding a season-high 23 points against Cesar Chavez on Dec. 15.
Ellender was also averaging 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
"When he came here, he had guidelines and stipulations and rules he had to follow," Harris said. "He wasn't able to maintain that."
Harris said he was unsure if Ellender had transferred to a different school.
"I just know that he's no longer in our program," Harris said.
