Heat Rumors: Goran Dragic Picks Up $19.2M Contract Option to Return to Miami

Goran Dragic has been a featured piece of the Miami Heat backcourt since they traded for him in February 2015, and that will remain the case for at least the 2019-20 season after he reportedly accepted his player option to remain on the team.

Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported the news Thursday, noting the option will pay him $19.2 million.

Even with Dragic in the backcourt, the Heat didn't reach the playoffs in 2014-15 or 2016-17 and lost in the second round in 2015-16 and first round in 2017-18.
