The Miami Heat on Tuesday traded backup center Dewayne Dedmon and a 2028 second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for cash considerations.
The agreement, ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. NBA trading deadline, allows the Heat to clear two roster spots below the NBA luxury tax, one to replace Dedmon and another to fill what had been the team’s vacant roster spot on their 15-man roster.
Among the Heat’s options with the opened roster space is converting the two-way contract of undrafted rookie center Orlando Robinson to a standard deal, making him eligible to not only appear in each remaining game of the regular season, but also eligible for the playoffs.
