Madsen had signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Heat after a stellar showing in the NBA Summer League, but was waived on Sept. 25.
Exhibit 10's offer guaranteed money if the player decides to stick with the franchise through their G-League affiliate.
Madsen will have the ability to compete for a coveted two-way contract as Miami still has one of its three two-way spots available. Two-way contracts allow a player to split their time between the NBA team and its G-League affiliate.
The Heat's G-League squad is the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
The University of Utah product turned heads while playing for the Golden State Summer League team in both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
