Free agent guard Tim Hardaway Jr. has agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Miami Heat, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania first <\/a>reported<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n Hardaway\u2019s new deal will use up $6.5 million of the Heat\u2019s mid-level exception, according<\/a> to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n Can confirm 1 year, $6.5 M for Tim Hardaway, per source. That leaves Heat with about $5 M left of mid-level exception.<\/p>\n \u2014 Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) June 30, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Hardaway has been linked to the Heat for quite some time. He was a priority free agent<\/a> for them heading into the offseason, and was one of my favorite <\/a>free agent options available to the Heat after acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n Hardaway, 35, was outstanding with the Denver Nuggets last season. He averaged 13.5 points on 40.7 percent from 3-point range, finishing third in Sixth Man of the Year voting. He will be entering his age-35 season, which is worth mentioning. But he is still a quality (albeit streaky) 3-point shooter \u2014 both on spot-up and movement attempts \u2014 at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n This is a breaking news story.
