Miami Heat will not pursue D'Angelo Russell after Grizzlies waive him

Summary

The Miami Heat are not interested in signing former All-Star guard D'Angelo Russell, who was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies. The team currently has reached its 21-player limit with recent signings, making it unlikely that they will cut a player to add Russell. Despite some analysts suggesting Russell could provide valuable scoring off the bench, roster constraints hinder the Heat's ability to pursue him. Miami's roster includes 14 players under contract, and they might look for additional depth through the buyout market later this season.
