The Miami Heat have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent wing Nassir Little, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Little joins the Heat after spending last season with the Phoenix Suns.
He averaged 3.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in 10.2 minutes during the 2023-24 season.
The Heat add Little to their roster as they continue to strengthen their wing depth for the upcoming season.
Little’s one-year deal with the Heat provides him the opportunity to showcase his talents and earn more playing time.
The 24-year-old forward has struggled with injuries but remains a promising young player in the league.
Little was selected 25th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
He spent four seasons in Portland before being traded to the Suns in 2023 as part of a multi-team deal.
Miami is known for its player development, and Little could benefit from the Heat’s system under head coach Erik Spoelstra.
The Heat have a history of turning undervalued players into key contributors, and Little could be the next to break through.
Little’s defensive ability and athleticism make him a potential fit in Miami’s hard-nosed, defense-first system.
