The Miami Heat will sign Jordan Mickey to a minimum contract, according to The Vertical’s Shams Charania, which puts the roster at 17 players, and could round out Miami’s 15-man regular season team.
NBA teams are allowed to carry up to 20 players prior to the regular season, when the roster limit is trimmed to 15. Miami has 17 players, including point guard Derrick Walton Jr. on a two-way contract and 3-point specialist Matt Williams signing a small deal that could be converted into a two-way contract down the road.
Mickey’s contract is for the veteran minimum–so the Heat can exceed the cap to sign him–and will be guaranteed.
