Gardner, who is from Detroit, has yet to play in an NBA game. In fact, this two-way contract with the Heat marks the closest that Gardener has been to playing in the NBA, as this is the first two-way or standard NBA deal that he has signed during his career.

MIAMI — The Miami Heat have signed forward Myron Gardner to a two-way contract, the team announced Friday. The exact terms of the contract were not disclosed. Gardner impressed during Summer League play, appearing in four games with two starts — two in the California Classic in San Francisco and two in the NBA2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas.

Myron Gardner’s signing with the Heat on a two-way contract comes after he too had a strong performance in Vegas during NBA Summer League. With this signing, the Heat have one available two-way contract spot open, although the team does have a two-way qualifying offer out to Dru Smith, as per Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald.
