It’s official: The Heat’s roster is now full.
Delon Wright will soon be playing for his eighth NBA team. Wright officially signed with the Miami Heat Sunday, after having his contract bought out by the Washington Wizards and then being placed on waivers. The former University of Utah standout had been with the Wizards for the last season and half, as part of an NBA journey that has seen him play for the Toronto Raptors, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Piston, Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks since he was drafted in the first round (No. 20) of the 2015 draft.
Delon Wright has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and, once he clears waivers, intends to sign with the Miami Heat, a person with knowledge of the move said Friday. Wright's intention is to be with the Heat when they resume practice after the All-Star break, said the person. ESPN first reported the buyout and Wright's intention to join the Heat.
