Free agent center/forward Precious Achiuwa has signed a one-year contract with the Miami Heat, the team announced Thursday.
This serves as a reunion for the Heat's No. 20 pick in the 2020 NBA draft after Achiuwa's productive stints in New York and Toronto over the past four seasons. The Heat have searched for size in the frontcourt to support star center Bam Adebayo this season.
In 2021, the Raptors acquired Achiuwa and Goran Dragic from the Heat in a sign-and-trade deal for Kyle Lowry.
Achiuwa has appeared in 320 career games, averaging 7.6 points and 5.7 rebounds.
The Heat waived Gabe Madsen in a corresponding move.
