And when Tyler was traded to Phoenix at last February’s deadline and No. 8 was not available to wear, he switched to No. 16 to “pay homage to my guy in Miami.” “It’s big,” James said of Tyler’s gesture. “Our relationship is bigger than basketball. He’s a brother to me. I probably would have done the same thing if I would have gotten traded or anything. I would have gone to 8 for him.”

Gina Mizell: Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Tyler Johnson, who went from undrafted rookie to rotation player with Miami before getting traded to #Suns last February: “I love Tyler Johnson. He’s one of my favorite stories … His story is a story I’ll be telling to my locker rooms for years.”
Gina Mizell: At TSRA for Merc practice and some #Suns rolled in for voluntary workouts right after. I saw Tyler Johnson, Bridges, Lecque, Cam Johnson, Jerome, Okobo, Diallo, Carter, Kaminsky, Harper. Doesn’t mean other players are NOT here, just that I didn’t see them in the hallway.
Tyler Johnson opts in
Adrian Wojnarowski: Suns guard Tyler Johnson has exercised his $19.25M player option for the 2019-20 season, league sources tell ESPN.
Phoenix still has no proven point guard; Tyler Johnson could be available if he opts into his contract for next season, sources say.
