The Heat have signed Justin Champagnie, the team tweets.
While terms were not disclosed, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that it’s an Exhibit 10 deal (Twitter link). The addition of Champagnie gives Miami a full 21-man camp roster.
The Celtics waived him at the beginning of the month.
Champagnie, 22, appeared in two regular season and four postseason games for Boston last season. He was due a $50K guarantee if he had remained on Boston’s roster.
Champagnie signed a two-year, minimum-salary contract in April but it was non-guaranteed for the upcoming season.
Champagnie could earn a little more money via the maximum Exhibit 10 bonus. If he’s waived by the Heat and then spends at least 60 days with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, their G League affiliate, he could earn a $75K bonus.
After going undrafted out of Pittsburgh in 2021, the 6’6″ swingman inked a two-way deal with the Raptors for the 2021/22 season. The team brought him back aboard for 2022/23, but after he had appeared in just three games for Toronto, he was cut in December.
In a procedural move, the Heat also signed and then waived center Brandon McCoy, who played for the Skyforce last season.
