The Miami Heat continued to fortify their roster by signing veteran center Nick Richards on Thursday.
The team did not disclose terms of contract, which ESPN reported was for one season.
The Heat announced the signing of five-time All-Star guard Klay Thompson on Sunday and acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time league MVP and 10-time All-Star, in a July trade with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Richards, 28, split last season between the Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls for a total of 48 games (six starts) and averages of 5.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 14.6 minutes while shooting 51.2% from the field.
For his career, Richards is averaging 7.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 17.6 minutes per game while shooting 62.1% on field-goal attempts for the Charlotte Hornets (2020-25), Suns (2025-26) and Bulls.
New Orleans selected Richards in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft. The Pelicans traded him the next day to the Hornets.
