Miami Heat Keep Two Hardship Guys Around, Kyle Guy And Chris Silva
With the Miami Heat getting healthier, it has been determined they no longer need most of the 10-day hardship guys that they brought in.
With the league allowing teams to bring in guys on 10-day deals and an unlimited amount of 10-day deals this year as opposed to only two per player per team in a normal year, with the Covid situation and the NBA‘s health and safety protocols, teams were allowed to bring in guys as needed in accordance with the guys that they lost as they went into said protocols.
With the Miami Heat getting healthy though, they no longer have a need for all of the 10-day guys that they initially signed over the last few weeks.

While the absence of Markieff Morris has been a thing to watch for some time now, it seems that he now finds himself inside the NBA’s health and safety protocols himself.
While there has been a need for a body, if not Morris’s own, to fill the void left by his absence, the technicality of it now being protocol-related is what allows them to do this. Also and be clear, the Miami Heat will take advantage of every avenue they have to keep a leg up.
This is one of those avenues, as they haven’t had him in an active capacity for a few months.
