South Beach, Miami
The Miami Heat have reportedly given guard Shaun Livingston another chance to play in the NBA. Today, he signed a 2 year contract with the Heat, but the terms of the deal have not been disclosed as of yet.
“It came down to Miami and Minnesota,” said Livingston’s agent, Henry Thomas, who also represents Wade. “And he was more comfortable there.”
Shaun was cleared for basketball activity last spring and has been playing on 5-on-5 scrimmages since then. He will travel with the team to Europe, but it is unclear, whether or not, Shaun will play in the preseason games next week.
“He has great size and feel for the game at his position,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I’ve followed him for a few years. It’s unfortunate, really, what happened, but we’d normally never be able to get a player of his talent at this time. He’s very committed to getting healthy and we have a great staff to help him get there.”
