Nearly two weeks after getting waived from his two-way contract with the Miami Heat, rookie guard Zyon Pullin is back with the organization on an Exhibit 10 contract, the organization announced Monday.

Miami can carry up to six Exhibit 10 contract players at one time. The only other Heat player known to have one is Isaiah Stevens, who will be competing for a two-way spot ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Pullin, an undrafted signee, averaged 5.9 points and 1.9 assists in 14.5 minutes across nine combined Summer League games. The organization rewarded him with one of their three two-way deals immediately upon signing. However, Pullin was waived in favor of Josh Christopher, a former first-rounder who joined the Heat organization in the latter half of 2023-24.

Earning an Exhibit 10 contract with the Heat could net Pullin a contractual bonus while remaining with the organization in Sioux Falls–even if he doesn’t regain a two-way contract, which would pay him half the league’s rookie minimum.

Pullin averaged 15.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in his senior season at Florida, shooting 44.4 percent from the floor, 44.9 percent from 3-point range (on low volume) and 84.7 percent from the free-throw line. In five combined collegiate seasons (four with UC-Riverside), he posted 12.8 points and 3.9 assists with a 2.2 assist-to-turnover ratio.
