Heat Sign Precious Achiuwa: Miami Reunites with 2020 First-Round Pick on One-Year Deal
Precious Achiuwa returns to Miami Heat on a one-year non-guaranteed minimum contract to add frontcourt depth behind All-Star Bam Adebayo, sources say.
- On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Shams Charania, NBA insider, reported the Miami Heat signed Precious Achiuwa to a one-year deal returning him to the team that drafted him in 2020.
- With the Heat thin up front, Miami entered the offseason seeking backup power forwards and centers after Thomas Bryant signed elsewhere, and interest in Precious Achiuwa was reported earlier this month.
- Over 320 career appearances, Precious Achiuwa averages 7.6 points and 5.7 rebounds and last season played 57 games for the New York Knicks, averaging 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds while listed at 6 feet 8 and 243 pounds.
- Signing moves Miami Heat slightly above the luxury tax line and forces them to free a preseason roster spot or cut one Exhibit 10 player before the trade deadline.
- Amid a tough market for veterans, Precious Achiuwa signed a veteran's minimum, non-guaranteed deal just ahead of training camp on September 30.
