Looking to fill out their roster and provide depth behind veteran guard Dwyane Wade, the Miami Heat signed the third-year guard to a 10-day contract.

With that contract set to expire, the Heat agreed to a second 10-day contract with Liggins on Saturday, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com.

"The Miami Heat have signed forward DeAndre Liggins to a second 10-day contract, the team announced Saturday."

Liggins was originally drafted by the Orlando Magic with the 53rd overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. The former Kentucky Wildcat only lasted one year in Orlando after averaging 1.9 points and 0.9 rebounds per game in just 17 appearances as a rookie.

Liggins joined the Thunder last year and played in 39 games, making one start. He averaged 1.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.4 minutes per game.

The Thunder also chose not to keep Liggins and he joined the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Developmental League. In 35 games, he put up 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.5 steals per games and was named to the D-League All-Star team.

He has appeared in one game for the Heat, scoring two points and grabbing a rebound in a 124-107 win over the Charlotte Bobcats Monday.
