WATCH: Former Alaska import Henry Walker saves the day for Miami

MANILA, Philippines – Former Alaska Aces import Henry Walker (formerly known as Bill Walker) was recently signed by the Miami Heat to a 10-day NBA contract. 

In just his second game with the team on Thursday, February 27 (PH time), the 27-year-old small forward hit two big 3-pointers that helped Miami take down the Orlando Magic on the road, giving the team their second straight victory.

Walker first hit a triple with 25 seconds left to cut Orlando’s lead to two, 84-82. Later on with four seconds remaining, Walker hit another 3 off a Dwyane Wade pass to tie the match at 85, forcing overtime. 

The Heat wound up winning the game 93-90. Walker was also responsible for rebounding the missed 3-pointer of Victor Oladipo at the end of OT that would have tied the contest.

Walker finished with 10 points. In his debut with the Heat against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, February 25, he scored 11 markers despite suffering a laceration above his eye that required stitches. 

Here are some his highlights from that game:

Walker’s play will likely earn him a second 10-day contract from Miami. After which, the Heat will have to decide whether or not to sign him for the rest of the 2014-2015 season.

Walker averaged 21 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for Alaska in the 2014 PBA Governors’ Cup.
