Hardaway agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with Miami on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After Miami acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee in a blockbuster trade, the front office is adding Hardaway to bolster the team's depth and provide spacing. The 2013 No. 24 overall pick is coming off a quality 2025-26 campaign with the Nuggets, averaging 13.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 steals while shooting a career-high 40.7 percent from deep across 26.6 minutes in 80 regular-season appearances.

Hyland re-signed with the Timberwolves on a one-year minimum deal, according to Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'.

Hyland stated that he wanted to return to Minnesota after the Game 6 loss to the Spurs on May 15, and he got his wish Tuesday. Hyland should have a bench role in Minnesota's rotation in 2026-27, but he doesn't figure to play a large role while competing for minutes in a backcourt group led by Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. Hyland averaged 8.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 16.6 minutes per tilt across 71 regular-season contests last season.

Jordan re-signed with the Pelicans on Tuesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

The terms of the agreement are not yet clear, but it figures to be a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum. The 37-year-old center, who's entering his 19th season in the NBA, offers the Pelicans leadership and a veteran presence for their young big men like Derik Queen, Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic. Jordan made 16 regular-season appearances in 2025-26 for New Orleans, averaging 4.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 16.6 minutes per game.

Dieng signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract with the Bucks on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After landing with the Bucks ahead of last season's trade deadline, Dieng will return to Milwaukee on a multi-year pact. The versatile forward averaged 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 triples and 0.8 steals in 26.9 minutes per contest across 30 regular-season games (20 starts) with the Bucks last season, and he should continue seeing significant playing time with the rebuilding club.

Johnson signed a two-way contract with Brooklyn on Monday.

Johnson split time between the G League and the Nets in 2025-26. In 17 regular-season contests with the parent club last season, the 24-year-old averaged 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.9 steals across 20.5 minutes. He'll likely spend most of his time with the G League's Long Island Nets in 2026-27.

The Bulls plan to waive Jones, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports Tuesday.

Jones was traded along with pick swaps and cash from the Pacers to the Bulls in exchange for Braden Smith during the 2026 NBA Draft, though Jones is set to hit the open market if he clears waivers. The No. 38 overall pick in 2025, Jones appeared in 37 regular-season games (seven starts) for Indiana in 2025-26, averaging 4.4 points, 3.2 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per contest.

Achiuwa agreed to re-sign with the Kings on a two-year, $11.5 million deal Tuesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

Achiuwa is coming off a career season with Sacramento, closing with averages of 10.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.9 minutes per game over 73 regular-season appearances. However, the 26-year-old big man might have to settle for a reserve role to begin the new year, as there's no indication that Domantas Sabonis (knee) won't be ready to play right away in 2026-27.

The Raptors are expected to send Dick, Brandon Ingram, two first-round picks, a first-round pick swap and two second-round picks to the Clippers on Tuesday in exchange for Kawhi Leonard, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After a promising sophomore campaign, Dick took a major step back in Year 3 and will look for a fresh start with a change of scenery. The sharpshooter shot over 35 percent from three in each of his first two seasons but hit rock bottom in 2025-26, shooting 30.3 percent on 2.4 three-point attempts per game while playing only 14 minutes a night over 76 regular-season games. Dick will likely be competing with Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller for reserve minutes in Los Angeles.

The Clippers are nearing a deal that would send Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors for Ingram (heel), Gradey Dick, two future first-round picks, one pick swap and two future second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Although the trade isn't yet finalized, it sounds like Ingram is heading to Los Angeles for the 2026-27 season. The star forward is recovering from heel surgery, but the expectation is that he'll be able to fully participate in training camp this fall. If the deal is indeed consummated, Ingram would set up as the Clippers' top scoring option while sharing the primary playmaking duties with Darius Garland.

The Clippers are nearing a deal to trade Leonard to the Raptors on Tuesday in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, one pick swap and two second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Leonard will reunite with the franchise he led to the 2019 NBA championship and immediately become the centerpiece of a Raptors team looking to contend in the Eastern Conference. While his fantasy upside will continue to hinge on his health, a move back to Toronto could put him in line for a featured offensive role alongside Scottie Barnes. Leonard has one year left on his deal valued at $50.3 million, but it's likely that there is mutual interest in an extension.
