While the start of training camp is still seven weeks away, the Miami Heat are getting a read of who will be on the court for that opening session.
European website Sportando is reporting that 2010 second-round draft pick Jarvis Varnado has been invited to Heat training camp, the first time he would make such an appearance.
With such a move the Heat would lose Varnado's rights if he is cut during camp. They previously have retained his rights because he bypassed contract offers in favor of playing overseas.
Varnado, a 6-foot-9 shot-blocking center out of Mississippi State, has split the past two seasons between Italy and Israel.
He was limited to two nondescript appearances in summer league last month due to injury
