When Miami picked up Precious Achiuwa right before the start of training camp, it looked like the Heat had filled their 15th and final roster spot ahead of the 2025-26 season. Achiuwa was a former 1st round pick by Miami who spent the past few years bouncing around before returning to his original club.

But a poor showing this preseason, combined with a looming roster reality, could make Achiuwa an easy player to put on the chopping block ahead of opening night.
