- The Heat assigned power forward Okaro White and small forward Marcus Georges-Hunt to Sioux Falls, Chris Reichert of The Step Back tweets. This will make both eligible for the D-League All-Star game, Reichert adds. White has appeared in 14 games with the Heat, averaging 4.2 PPG and 2.5 RPG while impressing enough during 10-day contracts to earn a two-year deal. Georges-Hunt signed a 10-day contract on February 8th after spending most of the season with the D-League’s Maine Red Claws, where he averaged 16.4 PPG.
So does Sioux Falls now get MGH’s D-league rights?
Only for as long as he’s still under contract with the Heat, I believe.
Ok thanks. I was curious about how that would work if they’re assigned to the D-league while under contract. So when his deal expires/he becomes a free agent, he would return to Maine?
Yep, exactly.
