Heat: Signed C Nick Richards to a contract.

The Miami Heat, sitting at 43–39 and holding the No. 10 spot in the Eastern Conference, have added depth to their frontcourt by signing center Nick Richards. With a recent two‑game winning streak and a net rating of +2.3, the team is looking to solidify its rotation as it pushes toward the postseason.

Richards, who wears jersey #8, has appeared in 28 games this season, averaging 3.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists while shooting 49.3% from the field. His size and efficient shooting give the Heat a modest but useful option off the bench, especially as they aim to improve their performance in the final stretch of the regular season.
