Heat sign Kylor Kelley to Exhibit-10 camp deal

Miami signed free-agent center Kylor Kelley to an Exhibit-10 training camp contract, weeks after Sioux Falls acquired his G League returning rights from Coachella Valley.

The 7-footer spent two seasons with the Lakers' South Bay affiliate, leading the G League in blocks in 2023-24 before a buyout sent him overseas. He has bounced between two-way and 10-day NBA deals with Dallas and New Orleans, and will now try to earn a spot with Sioux Falls this season.
