NBA roster limits

From what I understood before, the NBA currently limits teams to a 15-player roster, with 3 labled inactive prior to each game.

But with recent 10-day contract signings, the Heat currently have 17 players on their roster.

I'm just curious if the rules have changed, or if 10-day contracts are treated differently.

Not that a 53 man roster would help Miami win this season.

I haven't heard of this before, and I'm sure that someone knows more than I do, but I still feel like replying.

It might be different for two reasons:

1.) Injury reserve - for players such as Dwyane Wade, who has an ongoing injury and could miss the rest of the season

2.) As you mentioned, 10-day contracts; I haven't seen enough to know

As long as they don't play more than 12 guys in one game, however, I don't see how it can be that big of a deal. My guess is that the IR has something to do with it.
