It has been a trying first season in Miami for Bradley. The veteran guard has dealt with being in the league’s health and safety protocols due to COVID-19 and now a serious injury.
Miami hoped that Bradley would help solidify its perimeter defense, but he has only appeared in 10 games this season.
Through those 10 appearances, Bradley is averaging 8.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
The Heat have played better in their recent games with the return of Jimmy Butler, so hopefully Miami will get Bradley back for the stretch run and the postseason.
Bradley signed a two-year deal with the Heat this past offseason, but Miami has gotten very little return on its investment so far.
