The Heat made its first roster move of the offseason on Thursday, declining the $1.6 million team option on forward Jordan Mickey, according to a source.
After a brief rise in minutes in December, he played just 43 minutes after Jan. 5, including no playing time in the postseason.
He finished averaging 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 23 games, including three starts, in his only season with the team.
Mickey, who will now be an unrestricted free agent, has said after the season that he hoped Miami would keep him.
