"Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro headline the 2025-26 roster, hoping to bounce back from an embarrassing first-round exit in the playoffs against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. Herro is coming off his first All-Star appearance, tallying a career-high 23.9 points on 47.2 percent shooting and 37.5 percent from 3-point range. After a sluggish start to the season, Adebayo finished the 2024-25 campaign very strongly, even though his final numbers may not be indicative of that."
"Among the new faces on the roster are Powell, Jakucionis and Fontecchio. Powell was acquired in a three-team trade away from the Los Angeles Clippers, while Fontecchio was the sole piece in the Duncan Robinson sign-and-trade in July.

He had a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League after a disappointing California Classic."

They are not eligible to play in the playoffs. Myron Gardner: Listed at 6-foot-6, Gardner, 24, was one of the Heat's Summer League standouts. He signed a two-year, two-way contract (most are just for one year). In Las Vegas, he averaged 13.2 points, 4.2 rebounds a"
