Heat Add Richards for Inside Presence | Miami Heat News

Miami Heat just pulled off a savvy move by signing big man Nick Richards on a one-year deal, filling their final roster spot and adding crucial size to the paint. Richards, 28, thrived in his last 20 games with the Bulls, averaging over nine points and seven rebounds while shooting over 52% from the field. He’s not expected to be a scorer, but his rebounding, rim protection, and ability to eat up minutes will give Bam Adebayo and the rest of the frontcourt much-needed support. The deal became possible thanks to Klay Thompson’s unexpectedly affordable contract, leaving Miami with one roster spot open — a smart move that keeps their options flexible as the season unfolds.
