Tim Hardaway Jr. agrees to one-year deal with Miami Heat

sportsJun 30, 20263076

Tim Hardaway Jr. has agreed to a one-year, roughly $6.5 million contract with the Miami Heat after spending 2025, 26 with the Denver Nuggets. Hardaway finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting last season and is being added as an experienced perimeter scorer and sharpshooter for Miami. Heat acquisition follows reports tying the 40.7 percent three-point shooter to Miami and fills a shooting role off the bench or in spot-up minutes. The $6.5 million salary will be absorbed via the Heat’s mid-level exception; Miami reportedly had about $8.5 million remaining in that exception before the signing and faces apron hard-cap considerations. The move gives Miami a low-risk veteran shooter for 2026, 27 and clears a one-year slot that leaves flexibility for further roster moves this summer.

I wonder if Giannis can still leap over Tim Hardaway.

Now Giannis gets to jump clear over him every day in practice.

Miami Heat salary cap situation after signing Tim Hardaway Jr. His $6.5M salary will go into the mid-level exception. They have $8.5M remaining from it but can probably use closer to $7 million due to their first apron hard cap proximity after presumably signing Ryan Conwell.

Tim Hardaway Jr a Heat now. No hard feelings there. Miss ya bud. You earned a big payout here. There were a lot of issues with this team last year but you were a real bright spot. #Nuggets
