Heat swingman Myron Gardner<\/a> will receive a minimum salary ($395,029) for the rest of the 2025\/26 season after being promoted from his two-way contract. However, Miami had to use a portion of its non-taxpayer mid-level exception<\/a> in order to complete his deal, since it includes two additional years beyond this season.<\/p>\n

Gardner\u2019s second year features a partial guarantee of $500K, and he\u2019ll receive his full minimum salary of $2,150,917 for 2026\/27 if he remains under contract through January 7 next year, Hoops Rumors has learned. The third year of the deal is fully non-guaranteed, but the Miami wing would receive his full $2,525,901 salary if he isn\u2019t waived on or before July 15, 2027.<\/p>\n

Here are a few more details on the contracts recently completed around the NBA:<\/p>\n

Haywood Highsmith<\/a>\u2018s two-year, minimum-salary contract with the Suns includes a $1MM partial guarantee for 2026\/27, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link<\/a>). It also features language protecting the team in the event that the veteran wing re-injures his surgically repaired right knee, Hoops Rumors has learned.
\nAs expected, both Caleb Houstan<\/a> of the Hawks and Spencer Jones<\/a> of the Nuggets were unilaterally converted from their two-way contracts to rest-of-season, minimum-salary contracts rather than negotiating new deals. Houstan will be an unrestricted free agent at season\u2019s end, while Jones will be eligible for restricted free agency.
\nThe two-way contracts recently signed by Tyrese Martin<\/a> (Sixers), Trevor Keels<\/a> (Heat), and Jeenathan Williams<\/a> (Warriors) are each for one year, while Riley Minix<\/a>\u2018s new two-way deal with the Cavaliers will cover two seasons, Hoops Rumors has learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heat swingman Myron Gardner will receive a minimum salary ($395,029) for the rest of the 2025\/26 season after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479496,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[56249,64065,221517,106200,385,45797,156232,99,221055,59051],"class_list":{"0":"post-479495","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-caleb-houstan","9":"tag-haywood-highsmith","10":"tag-jeenathan-williams","11":"tag-myron-gardner","12":"tag-nhl","13":"tag-riley-minix","14":"tag-spencer-jones","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-trevor-keels","17":"tag-tyrese-martin"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
