Miami Heat Reportedly Sign Alondes Williams To Training Camp Contract

The Miami Heat have made a roster move, but it did not include Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard.

The Heat reportedly signed Alondes Williams to a training camp contract according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. Williams spent most of last season playing for the Brooklyn Nets' G League affiliate in Long Island.

A 6-foot-4 shooting guard, Williams went undrafted out of Wake Forest in 2022. Last year he averaged 13.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the G League.

The Heat's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Sky Force, acquired the rights to Williams two weeks ago. The goal is he becomes another developmental project turned rotation player.

The Heat had success in the past with the likes of Gabe Vincent, Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus.

The Heat are still awaiting for talks with Lillard to progress. Things have hit a standstill since Lillard requested a trade to Miami July 1.
