The Miami Heat have signed guard Josh Christopher to a Two-Way Contract and waived guard Zyon Pullin.
Christopher, who was named the 2024 Summer League Championship Game MVP, helped Miami capture the title in Las Vegas after appearing in all six games (four starts) averaging 19.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.00 steals, 1.8 assists and 25.9 minutes while shooting 54.1 percent from the field, 52.5 percent from three-point range and a perfect 15-of-15 from the foul line.
Christopher, who was selected in the first round (24th overall) by the Houston Rockets in the 2021 NBA Draft, spent last season in the G League between the Salt Lake City Stars and the HEAT’s affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He appeared in 18 regular season games (seven starts) with the Skyforce and averaged 15.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.39 steals and 27.4 minutes while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and a team-high 90.5 percent from the foul line.
