The deal will cover two seasons, according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel (Twitter link).<\/p>\n<p>Gardner, 24, went undrafted out of Little Rock in 2023 and has spent his first two professional seasons playing for the Osceola Magic, Orlando\u2019s G League affiliate. In 50 total appearances for Osceola last season, he averaged 10.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.0 steal in 21.2 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .488\/.353\/.761.<\/p>\n<p>Gardner impressed the Heat this month with his play at the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer Leagues. In four total outings, he put up 13.2 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.8 APG, and 2.8 SPG on .500\/.615\/1.000 shooting, earning praise from Summer League head coach <strong>Eric Glass<\/strong>, who praised the way that Gardner \u201cassaults the paint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHe\u2019s so aggressive, he\u2019s so strong going downhill,\u201d<\/em> Glass said, per Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.<\/p>\n<p>As our tracker shows, Gardner will fill the Heat\u2019s second two-way slot, alongside big man <strong>Vladislav Goldin<\/strong>. The expectation is that guard <strong>Dru Smith<\/strong> will take the team\u2019s third two-way contract sooner or later \u2014 Miami gave him a two-way qualifying offer last month.<\/p>\n<p>Gardner will be eligible to appear in a maximum of 50 NBA regular season games in 2025\/26 on his two-way deal, which will pay him $636,435.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gardner was a Summer League standout for the Heat after spending the past two seasons with the Osceola Magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":82973,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2610],"class_list":["post-82972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-myron-gardner"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
