Sources: Magic to acquire guard Shabazz Napier

The Orlando Magic will acquire Miami Heat guard Shabazz Napier for a protected future second-round pick, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Napier, 24, was the 24th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets and was traded to Miami in a draft-day deal. He averaged 5.1 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 51 games for the Heat last season.

The Heat traded Napier, who will make $1.3 million in 2015-16, to reduce their luxury tax bill.

He helped lead Connecticut to the national title in 2014 and was the Final Four Most Outstanding player.
