Josh McRoberts has exercised his player option for $6 million next season with the Miami Heat.

McRoberts will be entering the final season of the contract he signed with the Heat in 2014.

McRoberts is now eligible to be traded by the Heat.

Agent Mike Conley told the Sun Sentinel on Tuesday the early timing of the decision was a product of his recent discussions with McRoberts.

McRoberts appeared in just 22 games this past season as he was sidelined since late December with a stress fracture in his left foot.
