"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,"
"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. The Heat drafted Jakucionis with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The 19-year-old, one of the best point guards in the class, is arguably the Heat's best pure passer right now."
"Teams can have up to three players on two-way contracts; those players are paid roughly half of the rookie minimum (~$636K), but they don't count against the cap. They are eligible to be active for up to 50 regular-season games, except if the team isn't carrying a full 15-man roster. In that case, they could only be active for a combined 90 games. They are not eligible to play in the playoffs."
The Miami Heat currently have 18 of 21 maximum roster spots filled for 2025-26, including 14 standard contracts and two two-way deals. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro headline the roster after a first-round playoff exit. Herro averaged a career-high 23.9 points on 47.2 percent shooting and 37.5 percent from three; Adebayo averaged 18.1 points and 9.6 rebounds with 56.1 percent true shooting. New additions include Powell and Fontecchio, and the Heat selected point guard Jakucionis at No. 20 in the 2025 draft. Myron Gardner signed a two-year two-way contract after strong Summer League play.
