Former Georgia Tech guard Marcus Georges-Hunt saw his hard work in the NBA’s Development League rewarded yesterday with a 10-day contract to play for the Miami Heat. Georges-Hunt, who is averaging over 16 points per game this season with the D-League affiliate of the Boston Celtics, is now officially an NBA player and could see some minutes over the course of his contract. In the NBA, a team is allowed to extend a 10-day contract to a player two times in one season. After that, they must either let the player walk or sign him to a long-term deal.
