"Gardner is currently on a two-way contract for the Heat, but that could soon change if he keeps impressing the coaching staff. Over the last month, Gardner has appeared in eight games for Miami. In those appearances, he's averaging five points per game on 52 percent shooting from the field. In his best showing of the season, Gardner finished with 11 points and five rebounds on a perfect 4-4 shooting night against the Oklahoma City Thunder."
"After impressing with the Heat's Summer League team, Gardner was signed to a two-way deal just before the start of the season. As an undrafted player in 2023, Gardner spent the first two seasons of his career with the Orlando Magic's G League team in Osceola. But in two years with Osceola, Gardner didn't pop much. During his rookie season, Gardner averaged seven points. In his sophomore year, Gardner averaged just six."
Myron Gardner has converted a two-way deal into meaningful NBA minutes with the Miami Heat, appearing in eight games over the last month and averaging five points per game on 52 percent shooting from the field. He delivered an 11-point, five-rebound, perfect 4-4 shooting performance versus Oklahoma City. Gardner's path includes two seasons with the Orlando Magic's G League Osceola team where scoring was limited, followed by a breakout in Sioux Falls with averages of 16 points, 10 rebounds and three assists while shooting 45 percent from three over nine games. Injuries opened roster opportunities and Gardner is forcing consideration for a larger role.
