The Miami Heat have re-signed Chris Silva on a 10-day hardship contract.

Silva is on his fourth 10-day contract with the Heat.

Silva has appeared in seven games with the Heat this season, averaging 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes per game.

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo has been out of action for almost 10 months, but his return to the court may be nearing. Oladipo has looked good in recent workouts and could make his season debut in February.

After being acquired from the Houston Rockets before the 2021 trade deadline, Oladipo only appeared in four games for Miami. He was shut down with knee soreness after the game on April 8, 2021 and hasn't appeared in a game since.

The Heat re-signed Oladipo to a "make good" one-year minimum contract for this season. Miami retains full Bird rights for the scoring guard and could give Oladipo a healthy raise this summer if he shows he's healthy and back to form.

The Miami Heat are expected to sign Chris Silva to his third 10-day contract on Friday.

Silva's 10-day expired on Wednesday. Silva has averaged 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes over seven games with the Heat.

The Heat still have Tyler Herro in COVID-19 protocols. 

The Miami Heat have waived guard Marcus Garrett from his Two-Way contract. Garrett will undergo season-ending surgery on his right wrist.

Miami plans to replace Garrett with Kyle Guy on a Two-Way contract. Guy is completing a second 10-day hardship contract with the Heat.

In six games with Miami, Guy has averaged 8.2 points on 51.4% shooting from the field, including 45% from behind the arc. Guy previously played for the Sacramento Kings on a two-year, Two-Way contract.

Bam Adebayo is targeting a Monday return following a six-week absence following right thumb surgery.

Adebayo, who has averaged 18.7 points and 10.2 rebounds this season, had a Dec. 5 procedure on his thumb to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.

Omer Yurtseven has averaged about 11 points and 14 rebounds in 10 games, helping the Heat at center in the absence of Adebayo. 

The Miami Heat will sign Kyle Guy to a second 10-day hardship deal.

Guy has averaged nearly 10 points on 45 percent three-point shooting over five games.

On a drive to the basket late in the third quarter, Jimmy Butler planted his right foot awkwardly and went down in pain. Butler had to be helped to the locker room and missed the remainder of the Miami Heat's loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Butler was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Butler will undergo further evaluation on Tuesday. Spoelstra said Butler turned his ankle, but added, "If you talk to Jimmy right now, he says he's fine."

Miami is already without 11 players due to injuries and the health and safety protocols. Four Heat starters missed the game against the Warriors, along with several key reserves.
