Heat to sign guard Tyler Johnson to 10-day contract

The Miami Heat have opted to fill the vacant spot on their roster by calling up guard Tyler Johnson from their NBA Development League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Johnson will sign a 10-day contract to fill the vacancy created when the Heat waived guard Andre Dawkins at last week's contract-guarantee deadline.

Johnson was in transit Sunday, with the timing of his signing in question in order to maximize the 10 days he will be under contract, possibly not to be signed until Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center.
