Heat recall Dexter Pittman from Sioux Falls of D-League

Earlier today the Miami Heat recalled rookie center Dexter Pittman from the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the NBA Developmental League.  He was sent down on November 26th to start the D-League season with the Skyforce.  After Pittman had a solid stint playing for the Heat's summer league team, he was sent to the D-League to refine his skills against the next level of talent instead of sitting at the end of the bench in Miami.

Pittman started all 8 games he played in for Sioux Falls, averaging 16.6 points on 60% shooting in 30.6 minutes.  Add to that 9.0 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 assists and you've got a pretty well rounded stat line, though his free throw shooting still needs some work (51.9%).  He had 15 or more points in 6 of his 8 games and recorded four double doubles.
