The Miami Heat worked out 2021’s first-round pick forward/center Kai Jones on Monday. After the news surrounding Haywood Highsmith’s torn meniscus in his right knee broke, the Heat will look to address his absence in the frontcourt ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Selected 19th overall in 2021’s NBA Draft, Jones spent his first two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets before re-entering the association last season with the Los Angeles Clippers.
After a brief stint with the Hornets, Jones split last season with the Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks before becoming a free agent over the summer.
