The Miami Heat have officially promoted Jahmir Young from a two-way contract to a standard deal after waiving guard Terry Rozier. This move allows Young to be eligible for the Heat's postseason roster as they prepare for an elimination game against the Charlotte Hornets. Young, who has been a standout with the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League, was named to the second-team All-G League and participated in the Rising Stars event during the NBA All-Star Weekend. The 25-year-old guard went undrafted in 2024 after playing college basketball at the University of Maryland and starting his career at the University of Charlotte. Young's promotion comes amid injuries to several Heat guards, including Tyler Herro and Norman Powell. Coach Erik Spoelstra has praised Young's performance, noting his high energy and ability to be a challenging player to guard during practices. Young's upgrade fills the final roster spot for the Heat, who are looking to advance in the playoffs.
