With 14 players currently under guaranteed contract for the 2025-26 season, the Miami Heat have one more roster spot to fill. If the latest rumors are true, they may not sign a 15th player anytime soon.
While reuniting with Precious Achiuwa is up for consideration, the Heat have so far shown an unwillingness to begin the year inside the luxury tax. According to the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackosn, this could prompt them to hold off on adding a 15th player until December, when a pro-rated minimum deal would keep them outside the tax.
