Undrafted guard Tre Donaldson has agreed to a two-way contract with the Miami Heat, according to sources reporting to ESPN. The move adds the former collegiate guard to the Heat roster as the organization begins its post-draft recruitment and developmental process for the upcoming season.
Donaldson joins the professional ranks following a college career that featured tenures with both the Auburn Tigers and the Michigan Wolverines. Despite going unselected in the recent NBA Draft, Donaldson will now have the opportunity to compete for a spot within the Miami system, which has a long-standing reputation for successfully transitioning undrafted players into consistent NBA contributors.
Per the standard terms of an NBA two-way agreement, Donaldson will be eligible to split time between the Miami Heat and their NBA G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. This contract structure allows Donaldson to be active for up to 50 regular-season games with the Heat while continuing his professional development in the G League for the remainder of the year.
The Heat have frequently utilized two-way spots to identify future rotation players, and the addition of Donaldson provides the team with additional backcourt depth heading into the Summer League circuit. The team is expected to evaluate the young guard during upcoming sessions in Sacramento and Las Vegas as they finalize their training camp roster.
