Jamal Cain News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans | FOX Sports

Deal converted to two-way contract The Heat converted Cain's Exhibit 10 deal to a two-way contract Sunday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Cain has been a pleasant surprise for the Heat so far during the preseason, totaling 37 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and seven steals over his first two appearances. He'll likely get extended minutes while playing for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League during the 2022-23 campaign.

Productive again in Friday's win Cain totaled 19 points (7-14 Fg, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's win over Memphis.

Impact Cain continues to make the most of his opportunities, turning in another impressive performance. Over his past two outings, Cain is averaging 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.5 steals. Of course, this is only the preseason but he is certainly making a case to at least be signed on a long-term deal. A lot would need to fall his way should he hope to have any fantasy value but for now, congratulations to him for seizing the moment.

Double-double in win Cain compiled 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, an assist and five steals in 27 minutes in a 109-80 preseason win in Brooklyn.

Impact After playing just four minutes in his preseason debut, Cain filled the box score Thursday and led the Heat with 27 minutes played. He was 5-for-5 from the field and scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half. Disrupting passing lanes all night, he demonstrated great awareness on defense and had five steals. The undrafted 23-year-old is on an Exhibit 10 contract and will likely need more performances like Thursday's to earn a spot on Miami's roster.
