Report: Suns Agree to Deal with Heat for Guard Tyler Johnson

The Heat have reportedly reached a deal to send guard Tyler Johnson to the Suns, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports. Phoenix will send Ryan Anderson to Miami in return.

Now in his fifth NBA season, Johnson is averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists through 44 games. The 6'4" guard has made 10 starts for Miami this season.

Johnson, 26, went undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft out of Fresno State. He joined Miami in the summer league that year, signing with the Heat in August. Johnson spent the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons hopping between the G League and short-term contracts with the Heat before signing a four-year, $50 million deal during the 2016 offseason.
