The Miami Heat have been dealing with a bunch of injuries this season. And after meeting the criteria to ask for a hardship exemption, the team petitioned the NBA for help, according to The Miami Herald and South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The team would not confirm that the hardship exemption has been granted. But it has, and the Heat plan to make a call-up from the D-League.
With the ability to add a 16th player to the roster, the Heat will work out forward Okaro White on Monday and then likely sign him Monday or Tuesday.
