RJ Hampton healthy again and needed amid Heat injury issues: ‘I feel 100 percent’

One of the most intriguing developmental prospects on the Miami Heat’s roster has logged just two minutes of playing time this season. But he just recently became available again to play more minutes.

Guard RJ Hampton, a former first-round pick who signed a two-way contract with the Heat this past offseason, was cleared to return to game action late last week after missing 10 consecutive games with a sprained right knee. He sustained the injury during his first practice with the Heat’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, in mid-November and had been unavailable since.
