The Miami Heat announced the waiving of Ezra Ausar, Kylor Kelley, Gabe Madsen, and Bez Mbeng on Saturday. All four waived players were signed to Exhibit 10 contracts and are anticipated to join the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miami's NBA G League affiliate, where they can earn bonuses of up to $91,000 for spending at least 60 days with the team.
