More players signed 10-day contracts last season than in any of the past eight seasons, the span covered in the Hoops Rumors 10-Day Tracker. Slightly more than half of those 41 players are poised to go to NBA training camps this fall, but that leaves quite a few whose brief auditions with NBA teams in 2013/14 haven’t led to continued employment in the Association as 2014/15 is set to begin.
The Heat currently have more players who signed 10-day contracts last season than any other NBA team, though none of the four signed their 10-days with the Heat. The only player Miami inked to a 10-day deal last season is DeAndre Liggins, and while it appeared that he was set to join the Clippers for camp this year, the latest report indicates that he’s still without a deal.
Each of last season’s 10-day signees is listed below and broken down into categories, along with information on their whereabouts.
