Nassir Little's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Forward Nassir Little is joining the Miami Heat on a one-year deal. According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Little's deal is expected to be partially guaranteed or non-guaranteed. The 24-year-old was available as a free agent after the Phoenix Suns waived Little four weeks ago. He saw very little action in Phoenix last season, averaging 10.2 minutes across 45 games. The former first-round pick has previously proven that he can contribute at this level, but Little's chances of carving out a significant role in Miami don't appear high.

Phoenix Suns forward Nassir Little has been waived by the team. Little's stint with Phoenix came to an end after only 45 games. He was acquired ahead of last season from Portland in a three-team trade that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee. The 24-year-old couldn't make an impact on his new team, logging only 10.2 minutes per game and scoring 3.4 points. According to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, the Suns plan to stretch out the $22 million remaining on Little's deal over three years. Little had a solid campaign in 2021-22, posting 9.8 points and 5.6 rebounds, but he has struggled to stay healthy and hasn't been a factor in fantasy hoops in recent years.

Phoenix Suns forward Nassir Little (knee) is listed as probable against the Boston Celtics on Thursday. The 24-year-old has been kept off the court with inflammation in his left knee and has played in only two of the last 10 Suns games. Little's absence has yet to matter a lot for the Suns, as he's been limited to only 12.5 minutes a night across 34 games this season. However, he could see some playing time if Eric Gordon (knee) is unavailable.
