"Gardner is currently averaging 4.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game on 46.4% shooting. Recent injuries have paved a way for the 24-year-old wing to fill in under coach Erik Spoelstra. The numbers may not jump off the stat sheet, but Gardner has provided encouraging defense, energy and hustle in his minutes over the past month or so."
"At 6-foot-6, he has the length to be able to play any of the shooting guard, small forward or power forward positions and has shown that he can hold his own defensively when given the opportunity. Gardner submitted a career-high 14 points on February 3 in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. Additionally, he recorded a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first career start a few days prior versus the Chicago Bulls."
Myron Gardner was converted from a two-way contract to a standard Miami Heat deal after earning increased minutes and showing defensive energy and hustle. He is averaging 4.2 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist per game on 46.4% shooting. At 6-foot-6, he can play shooting guard, small forward or power forward and has delivered notable performances, including a career-high 14 points and a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first start. Trevor Keels was called up from the Sioux Falls Skyforce to occupy Gardner's vacated two-way spot. All 15 standard roster places are now filled.
