Required by league rule to sign a player on Wednesday, the Heat gave a 10-day contract to Emanuel Terry, a power forward who has appeared in two NBA games, for the Phoenix Suns late last month.
Terry went undrafted out of Division 2 Lincoln Memorial in Cleveland in 2018.
He averaged 16.9 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots per game as a senior, led the Railsplitters to South Atlantic Conference regular season and tournament championships and was named an All-American by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
He also won the Bevo Francis Award as the top small college player in the country.
