Heat Sign Richards for Depth | Miami Heat News

The Miami Heat just added depth to their frontcourt by signing veteran center Nick Richards on a one-year deal, bringing their roster to 14 players under standard contracts — a savvy move to navigate the salary cap. Richards, a Jamaican native who didn’t start playing basketball until he was 13, brings experience after stints with Charlotte and Chicago. He’ll slot behind Bam Adebayo, potentially alongside Giannis and Portis, adding crucial flexibility. Meanwhile, Keshad Johnson returns on a two-way contract, giving him up to 50 games on the active roster while freeing up space. With training camp starting September 29th, Richards and Johnson are poised to make an impact as the season heats up.
