""Myron is our energy. I don't know how to really describe Myron," Heat captain Bam said with a smile. "You just have to hang around him. He's the person that has this 'kid energy.' You know when kids that run around all day and you're always looking at them like, 'I wish I had that much energy.' He is that.""
""I can't describe Myron. But you need teammates like him. Throw him in the game and he's going to play as hard as possible. ... When Myron checks in the game, you instantly feel a difference. He's going to compete. He's going to play hard. He's going to defend. He's going to foul. But, like I said, you need somebody like that on your roster because he can spark the energy of the arena, the players on the court, the coaching staff. He has that type of energy. He can spark us.""
Myron Gardner had seen limited NBA minutes this season, totaling 68 minutes before a recent appearance. The 24-year-old, a 6-foot-5 undrafted guard who spent prior seasons in the Orlando Magic organization and the G League, was summoned to Miami at 3 a.m. after injuries to Davion Mitchell, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Tyler Herro. Gardner arrived via two flights and played 15 minutes off the bench, scoring a career-high 11 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting night, including 3-of-3 from three-point range. Teammates credit Gardner with bringing high energy and the ability to spark the team and arena.
