G DeAndre Liggins has started the last two games in place of J.R. Smith, and while he has totaled just 11 points, the Cavs have produced two of their best defensive games of the season -- the 34.8 percent the Heat shot from the field was a season low for a Cavs opponent. It was also a season low for the Heat. |

Liggins signed a contract with Krasny Oktyabr of Russia on Wednesday, Sportando reports. |
Liggins had been participating in training camp with the Clippers, but the prospect of a guaranteed contract overseas proved too alluring for him to pass up. Known primarily for his skills as an on-ball defensive specialist, Liggins appeared in one game with the Heat last season. He could get a look in that capacity from another NBA team later in the year, after he's fulfilled his contractual obligations with Krasny. |

Liggins has signed a training camp deal with the Clippers, Sportando's Orazio Cauchi reports. |
He caught on for a brief stint with the Heat last season, but even if he were to make the Clippers out of camp, there's very little chance he'd see enough minutes to be fantasy relevant. |

DeAndre Liggins scored 20 points for the Pistons during Summer League action on Friday, making 6-of-9 field goals and 6-of-7 free throws in the loss. |
Liggins added three rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes, increasing his visibility as he tries to earn an NBA contract for the 2014-15 season. He faced serious criminal charges in 2013 and played a total of one minute with the Heat last year. The odds are long that he'll make a team, let alone play a meaningful role. |

Thu Jun 5 2014 | 09:50 | DeAndre Liggins hoping to catch on with Nets |
DeAndre Liggins was at the Brooklyn Nets' facility this week in the hopes of receiving an invite to the team's summer league squad in Orlando next month. |
Liggins was one of 31 players trying to hook on with the Nets, but the former Kentucky Wildcat felt good about his performance. "I shot the ball," Liggins said. "I know I could shoot it better but it's OK. I played unselfish, did all the right things, followed my defensive principles, I think I did fine." The 26-year-old has bounced around the D-League since being drafted in the second round by the Orlando Magic in 2011 and will also be attending the Golden State Warriors' mini-camp on June 23. "It's a process, so you gotta know that going into the NBA," Liggins said. "If you're not that type of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins or [Eric] Bledsoe, you just gotta be willing to do whatever it takes to get better." |

Liggins is a big, athletic SG but unfortunately he doesn't have an appreciable role with the Heat, having played exactly one minute this season. On a positive note, the felony charges which led to Liggins' arrest in in August have since been dropped. |

Miami Heat sign G DeAndre Liggins. |
Liggins will join the Heat after being signed on a 10-day contract from their D-League affiliate Sioux Falls Skyforce. Liggins appeared in 35 games for the Skyforce this season and averaged 14.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists. The 25-year-old won't serve as much more than bench depth for Miami so his fantasy value is more or less non-existent. |

Former Thunder G DeAndre Liggins has been charged with seven criminal offenses, including domestic abuse and kidnapping. |
OKC waived Liggins on Friday in the wake of his arrest and criminal charges, which new reports have revealed to be extremely serious. Given his marginal role while with the Thunder, and the severity of his alleged crimes, it's fair to question if he'll play in the NBA again. Follow the link for more details. |

Tue Sep 3 2013 | 22:16 | Details emerge in Liggins' dom. violence case |
Details have emerged in the domestic violence case that landed DeAndre Liggins in jail Saturday, in the form of a probable-cause affidavit, and the news is not good. |
He's accused of punching his girlfriend, Jasmine Horton, in front of their 2-year-old son, then kicked in the door she had locked herself behind, pushed her down, dropped a fan on her, stomped her with his foot and dropped an Xbox on her head, according to the affidavit. The police report states that Horton had a variety of injuries, although Liggins has still not been charged with a crime. He's been released from jail on $8,000 bail and averaged just 1.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 39 games last season. If he is charged and these charges turn out to be true, there's a very good chance he won't be playing for the Thunder this season. |

Thunder guard DeAndre Liggins has been arrested and jailed on charges of domestic abuse. |
Specifically, he's been accused of domestic assault, battery with a dangerous weapon, and domestic abuse in the presence of a minor. The Thunder are aware of the situation and this may encourage them to cut Liggins, whose deal for the 2013-14 season is fully unguaranteed. |

Wed Jul 10 2013 | 23:24 | DeAndre Liggins working on 3-pointers |
DeAndre Liggins has been spending extra time on improving his 3-point shooting. |
"Liggins has become a really reliable corner 3-point shooter," said Thunder coach Rex Kalamian. "I think with his feet set there we trust him as much as anybody on our team." Liggins said that he's trying to continue to shoot until his "arms fall off," and OKC has given him a green light to shoot more in Summer League. He still has some work to do to get on the fantasy radar -- especially with Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb playing well. |
