Josh Christopher gets a Heat 2-way. Zyon Pullin waived. Cristopher rewarded for his good work in Las Vegas Summer League; he’s highly athletic and can score. A player worth investing in, as a 24th overall pick 3 years ago. – 2:14 PM

More on this storyline
Anthony Chiang: Josh Christopher, who remains unsigned, after being named the Las Vegas Summer League championship game MVP: “I think this Heat culture thing just brought the best out of me. I don’t think I’ve had a series of games better than this in my life, honestly.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / July 23, 2024
Barry Jackson: Josh Christopher, a former 24th overall draft pick, wins Las Vegas Summer League championship MVP. Now awaits decision from Heat on a 2-way deal. Heat has Keshad Johnson (who’s safe), Zyon Pullin and Dru Smith on 2-way deals. Players on 2-way deals can be replaced at any time. -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / July 23, 2024
Game MVP Josh Christopher led the Heat (6-0) with 24 points, Kel’el Ware had 21 points and 10 rebounds, Alondes Williams scored 21 points, Cole Swider had 19 points and Larsson finished with 16 points. Jake LaRavia led the Grizzlies (5-1) with 32 points, Scotty Pippen Jr. had 29 points and 11 assists and GG Jackson scored 28 points. Each team traded 3-pointers to force the extra session. Swider put the Heat up 113-110 with 19.6 seconds left and Jackson matched him with 10.5 seconds remaining. Miami had a chance to win in regulation, but Williams was called for a charge with 4.2 seconds left. Then Pippen missed a 3-pointer with a second to go. “[The Grizzlies] made it tough for us,” Bisaccio said. “That just speaks volumes to this team. Their willingness to fight through the adversity showed real grit, toughness and of course that competitive will.” -via ESPN / July 23, 2024
