MIAMI – The Miami Heat made their first deal of NBA trade deadline day a little before 1 p.m. Thursday, acquiring Sacramento’s Nemanja Bjelica in exchange for Chris Silva and Moe Harkless, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-11 Bjelica averaged 11.5 points per game on 42% 3-point shooting in 2019-20 but has seen those numbers drop after falling out of the starting lineup this season.
This year he’s averaged 7.2 points on 29% beyond the arc.
The deal comes as Heat fans await word on potential bigger moves.
