In an effort to make a postseason push, the Miami Heat will sign veteran guard Delon Wright for the duration of
the year to provide some depth to their backcourt.
A pro-rated veteran minimum contract will be used.
Wright, who shot 38.1% from three this season, averaged 4.1 points per game while playing a limited role for the
Wizards. More significantly, Miami has a good defender who is designed for the Heat’s zone defense and averages
1.1 steals per game in little time. He also possesses strength when attacking. Wright, who comes off the bench to
join Josh Richardson, provides some depth behind starters Terry Rozier and Tyler Herro. Miami doesn’t gain
much from this trade, but it is a good choice of a player who can provide them with a few minutes each night.
