Top R.J. Hampton News

  • R.J. Hampton: Contract expires

    Hampton became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the Wizards expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    Hampton is eligible to sign a second 10-day deal or a rest-of-season contract with the Wizards, but Washington is expected to move on from the 22-year-old guard and replace him on the 15-man roster with big man Tristan Vukcevic, who agreed to a two-year contract Wednesday, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Before landing his 10-day deal earlier this month, Hampton had been playing with the Wizards' G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. He could remain in the organization with the G League club if he's unable to quickly find another NBA opportunity in free agency.

  • Wizards' R.J. Hampton: Gets recalled Friday

    Washington recalled Hampton from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.

    Hampton, who signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Sunday, continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. He'll be available for Friday's game against the Hornets, but he's not guaranteed to make his Wizards debut.

  • Wizards' R.J. Hampton: Called up from G League

    The Wizards recalled Hampton from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Wednesday.

    Hampton could be available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Magic, though he's unlikely to factor into the rotation while the contest is competitive. Before signing a 10-day deal with Washington over the weekend, Hampton had previously made all eight of his NBA appearances this season with the Heat, averaging 1.3 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per contest while shooting 28.6 percent from the field.

  • Wizards' R.J. Hampton: Inks 10-day deal with Washington

    Hampton signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Sunday.

    Hampton will be getting his second NBA opportunity of the season after he previously appeared in eight games with the Heat while on a two-way deal before Miami waived him in February. The 2020 first-round draft pick has seen the bulk of his playing time in the G League this season, averaging 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game over 15 appearances between the Capital City Go-Go and Sioux Falls Skyforce.

  • Wizards' R.J. Hampton: Slated to sign 10-day

    Hampton will sign a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Sunday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Justin Champagnie's 10-day expired Sunday, and Washington retained him by offering a two-way deal, which opens up a spot on the 15-man roster for Hampton. Hampton has spent time with Denver, Orlando, Detroit and Miami over the last four seasons, but he's never been able to supply sustained production. Hampton isn't guaranteed playing time in Washington, but there will be minutes available if Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) remains sidelined.

  • R.J. Hampton: Let go by Miami

    The Heat waived Hampton on Friday.

    Hampton was cut loose to free up a two-way roster spot for guard Alondes Williams, who had been a top performer this season for the Heat's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Assuming he clears waivers, Hampton could stick in the Heat organization as a member of the Skyforce. Hampton made just eight appearances for Miami in 2023-24 prior to being waived.

    The Heat are expected to waive Hampton from his two-way contract Friday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Hampton is averaging 1.3 points and 1.0 assists in 9.5 minutes across eight appearances this season. The 22-year-old guard will look to join his fifth team in four seasons after being released by the Heat.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Late addition to injury report

    Hampton is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks due to a hernia.

    Hampton's late addition to the injury report is a bad sign of his availability against the Knicks. However, his potential absence shouldn't affect Miami's rotation.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Not listed on injury report

    Hampton (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

    Hampton missed Monday's game due to an illness but should be back in action Wednesday. He's held an inconsistent role this season, but with Kyle Lowry (hand), Caleb Martin (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (toe) all expected to be out, Hampton could crack the rotation versus Oklahoma City.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Ruled out Monday

    Hampton (illness) will not play in Monday's game against the Rockets.

    Hampton was a late addition to the injury report and will end up on the shelf. He's been on the outside of the rotation lately, however, so his absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Late addition to injury report

    Hampton is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Hampton was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. However, he's played just three minutes total over Miami's last two games, so his potential absence shouldn't impact the rotation, even though Caleb Martin (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (foot) remain out.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Coming off bench in LA

    Hampton isn't starting Monday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Hampton drew a pair of starts while Kyle Lowry (head) was out of action, but the 22-year-old will retreat to the bench with Lowry cleared to return Monday. However, Hampton could continue to see more chances than usual with Josh Richardson (back) and Caleb Martin (ankle) still out.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Starting against Warriors

    Hampton will start against the Warriors on Thursday.

    Kyle Lowry (soreness) is sitting out Thursday and will join Jimmy Butler (calf) and Caleb Martin (ankle) on the sidelines. Hampton has spent most of his time in the G League this season, and he has just three appearances for the Heat under his belt in 2023-24.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Returns to NBA

    Hampton will re-join the Heat ahead of Monday's matchup in Charlotte, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Hampton and Nikola Jovic were sent to the G League on Sunday, but Kyle Lowry (back) was a late addition to the injury report, prompting Hampton's return to the NBA club. Due to numerous injuries, Hampton could emerge as a depth option for Miami, though he's made only one NBA appearance this season.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Cleared from injury report

    Hampton (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Cleveland.

    The Heat announced in mid-November that Hampton could miss extended time due to a right knee sprain, but he's been cleared to return following a three-week absence. Hampton hadn't been a rotation player for Miami prior to his injury, however, so his availability for Friday's game shouldn't affect how head coach Erik Spoelstra distributes the minutes.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Facing extended absence

    The Heat relayed Thursday that Hampton (knee) could be headed for an extended absence, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Details on the nature of Hampton's sprained right knee are scarce, but the fourth-year player is apparently out indefinitely after suffering the injury in a practice last week with the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce. Hampton made just one two-minute appearance with the NBA team this season before suffering the injury.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Remains out Thursday

    Hampton won't play in Thursday's game versus the Nets due to a right knee sprain.

    The injury previously kept Hampton -- one of the Heat's three two-way players -- from playing for the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce over the weekend. The severity of Hampton's knee sprain isn't known, but his absence Thursday won't affect head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation plans.

  • Heat's R.J. Hampton: Officially out Monday

    Hampton (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Hampton was initially questionable for Monday's matchup before being downgraded to doubtful. Although he'll be unavailable against the Lakers, his absence shouldn't significantly impact Miami's rotation.
