The Miami Heat have signed free agent point guard Mike Bibby.
Mike Bibby’s agent, David Falk, confirmed Tuesday evening that his client signed with the Heat after clearing waivers, according to Washington Post beat writer, Michael Lee’s, Twitter account.
Bibby was released by the Wizards on Monday afternoon after he reached a buyout agreement where he forfeited his entire $6.2 million in salary for the 2011-2012 season.
Bibby is a 12 year veteran who is best known for the role he played on the Sacramento Kings squads of the early 2000’s. His best season came in 2005 when the point guard averaged 21.1 points and 5.4 assists per game. The Heat would like to add his veteran presence and playoff experience.
Between the Kings and the Atlanta Hawks, Bibby has played in 80 post-season games where he has averaged 15.3 points and 4.3 assists per game. The Hawks traded Bibby to the Washington Wizards at last Thursday’s trading deadline for point guard Kirk Hinrich.
Bibby is averaging just 9.1 points and 3.6 assists per game this season.
