Alec Burks Joins Miami Heat for $3.3M

The Miami Heat have signed veteran guard Alec Burks to a one-year contract, as first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Burks, who played last season with the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks, averaged 10.4 points per game and had standout performances in the Knicks' playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. This move comes as the Heat aim to bolster their backcourt depth amidst injuries to key players like Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson. Burks, 32, provides scoring and experience, having played for multiple NBA teams since being drafted by the Utah Jazz in 2011. His contract, worth the veteran minimum of $3.3 million, adds a versatile option to Miami's guard rotation.
