Tyler Johnson finished up a decent four-year run at Fresno State with the hopes of playing in the NBA. Unfortunately, he was never drafted and find a job, despite impressing the Heat’s staff and front office during the summer league.
He kept working on his game in the D-League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce and earned a 10-day contract with the Heat on January 12th. Johnson did not get a ton of minutes with the Heat and his contract was not picked up after his first 10-day contract was up. His Heat career was over, right?
