Overview

  • Miami announced Feb. 18 that two-way guard Myron Gardner has been signed to a standard NBA contract, filling the Heat’s 15th roster spot.
  • Multiple outlets, including reporting via Chris Haynes, say the agreement spans three years, with later seasons carrying conditional guarantees and no full guarantee beyond this year.
  • The promotion opens a two-way slot that the Heat can still fill by the March 4 deadline, with Jahmir Young and Vladislav Goldin holding the remaining two-way spots.
  • Gardner has appeared in 26 NBA games with four starts and earned more minutes since January, including a recent seven-game stretch averaging 7.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 17.7 minutes.
  • Undrafted in 2023 out of Arkansas–Little Rock, Gardner built his case through the G League with Osceola and Sioux Falls, drawing praise from Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell for energy and defense, while Miami retains flexibility to add another veteran if desired.
