DEXTER PITTMAN Recalled From SIOUX FALLS SKYFORCE
The Miami Heat announced that Dexter Pittman has been recalled from the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Development League. He was assigned to the Heat's D-League affiliate on November 26. "It was a very productive stint for Dexter," said Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra, "and shows how valuable the NBA Development League is. He had an opportunity to play and learn from his mistakes, play through fatigue, foul trouble and all these things he can't get from just practice. We were encouraged by the three-week opportunity he had." Pittman appeared in eight games (all starts) and averaged 16.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.63 blocks and 30.6 minutes while shooting 60.2 percent from the field.
