According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Heat have signed Nick Richards to a one-year contract.

While specifics of the deal were not provided, Richards will likely earn the veteran’s minimum next season. Between Phoenix and Chicago, the former second-round pick appeared in 48 games last season, averaging 5.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 14.6 minutes. While Richards gives the Heat more size in the frontcourt, he’s unlikely to be in a position to impact fantasy basketball in 2026-27.

NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Nick Richards is a “prime candidate” to sign with the Heat.

The Heat continue filling out their roster, most recently signing Klay Thompson to a two-year deal. However, they still need interior depth, and Richards is reportedly under consideration. Stein’s report aligns with those of Heat beat reporters in recent days. However, if he were to sign with the Heat, Richards’ addition would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball.

Nick Richards (elbow) is out for the Bulls’ final two games of the season.

Due to an elbow injury, Richards has not appeared in a game since March 25. The 7-footer’s playing time increased significantly after being traded to Chicago from Phoenix, even providing streaming value on some nights. However, Richards is unlikely to be in a position where he can provide reliable fantasy value in 2026-27.
