Miami Heat

Bam Adebayo

C

While Adebayo may sacrifice some scoring volume, Antetokounmpo's ability to collapse defenses should create more efficient scoring opportunities, and the duo projects to form one of the league's premier defensive frontcourts. Adebayo nursed a back issue to end the 2025-26 season, but he should be a full go for training camp.

Trevor Keels

G

Keels missed Miami's Summer League finale, marking a third consecutive game on the inactive list due to right knee soreness. Over two Las Vegas Summer League appearances, he averaged 23.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 27.2 minutes per showing.

Ryan Conwell

G

The Heat are erring on the side of caution while the rookie second-rounder tends to a hip injury. Conwell has plenty of time to heal up ahead of training camp in the fall, when he'll likely be competing with Dru Smith for the backup point guard role behind Davion Mitchell for 2026-27.

Myron Gardner

F

Gardner's Summer League is over because of an ankle sprain he suffered in Friday's California Classic opener in San Francisco against the Spurs. The swingman is missing out on valuable reps as he competes for a rotation spot with the Heat, but he does have plenty of time to recuperate for training camp in the fall.

Dru Smith

G

Smith (foot) is coming off his best season since entering the league. In 70 regular-season appearances with the Heat in 2025-26, the 28-year-old averaged 5.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.4 steals across 16.3 minutes of work. Smith isn't an efficient shooter or a reliable scoring threat, but he could continue to receive routine minutes throughout the 2026-27 campaign due to his defensive prowess. Of course, that's assuming he remains in Miami.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

F

After 13 seasons, 10 All-Star nods, two MVPs and a championship, Antetokounmpo will take his talents to South Beach. The superstar forward appeared in just 36 regular-season games in 2025-26 due to several injuries, averaging 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.9 minutes per showing. He'll now form a formidable pairing with Bam Adebayo in the Miami frontcourt as the Bucks navigate life without their franchise cornerstone.
