The Miami Heat have declined their $1.6 million option for 2018-19 on forward Jordan Mickey, making him a free agent, the team confirmed Thursday.
Mickey, signed as a free agent last summer, appeared in 23 games during the regular season, including three starts. He did not appear in the playoffs, on the team's inactive list for all five games against the Philadelphia 76ers.
That's probably a wrap for Mickey's NBA career, at least for the foreseeable future. The guy should probably go to Europe for several years, try to reinvent himself, and then maybe he can be part of an NBA rotation.
