Chalmers, who won back-to-back titles with Miami, has been called up from the NBA G League.
The Miami Heat is bringing one of them back. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Mario Chalmers is set to sign a 10-day contract with the organization.
Chalmers, who last played in April of 2018, will rejoin the franchise under a hardship waiver as Miami deals with injuries and health and safety protocols.
The Heat's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday was postponed because they were unable to meet the league's requirement of eight available players.
Chalmers, 35, spent the first seven-plus seasons of his career in Miami, winning two championships as a starting point guard.
He joined a list of NBA legends, including Joe Johnson, Lance Stephenson and Isaiah Thomas, to return as teams in a league effort to fill roster spots. Chalmers, Stephenson, and Thomas each played for the Grand Rapids Gold — an affiliate of the Denver Nuggets G League, coached by NBA veteran Jason Terry — before being called up.
In nine NBA seasons, Chalmers averaged 8.9 points and 3.7 assists.
Miami's next game is scheduled for Friday against the Houston Rockets.
