Josh McRoberts to exercise option, remain with the Miami Heat

Josh McRoberts will be with the Miami Heat for one more season, according to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.

McRoberts, 30, played in just 22 games last season, averaging 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 17.3 minutes per game. Since signing with the Heat in 2014, he’s spent most of his time sidelined with injuries. He’s played in just 81 games in three seasons. McRoberts signed a four-year, $22 million deal with a player option for the 2017-18 season worth roughly $6 million. Considering his injury history, it made sense for McRoberts to take the money.
