Free agent wingman Caleb Martin will return to the Miami Heat on a reported three-year, $20.5MM deal, Anthony Chiang of Miami Herald provides. The club will use its $6.5 million taxpayer midlevel exception to retain Martin.
After playing his first two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets, Martin delivered a career-high numbers in points (9.2), rebounds (3.8), steals (1.0) and field goal shooting percentage (50.7%) last season for Miami. He played a good role for the Heat as one of Erik Spoelstra’s significant undrafted contributors off the bench.
The Heat already regained the service of Victor Oladipo and Dewayne Dedmon this offseason, but they failed to land P.J. Tucker again who inked a three-year, $33 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Miami is coming off from a deep postseason run and was eliminated by the Boston Celtics in seven games of the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals.
