Miami Heat\u00a0head coach Erik Spoelstra wants to see Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier play together as much as possible during the preseason,\u00a0according to the\u00a0Sun Sentinel<\/em>\u2019s Ira Winderman.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBasically what Erik Spoelstra said he wants to see \u2013 as much Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier together as possible,\u201d Winderman wrote. \u201cWe need to see if that combination works and we need to see it as soon as possible. That said, it\u2019s still preseason, and a long grind will follow. So don\u2019t expect too much this soon. It\u2019s simply not the NBA way in the preseason.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Heat acquired Rozier during the 2023-24 season, and he appeared in 31 games with the team. Unfortunately, he didn\u2019t spend a ton of time with Butler and Herro since all three players dealt with injuries in the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

Then, Rozier\u2019s neck injury and Butler\u2019s knee injury kept them out of the playoffs against the\u00a0Boston Celtics. So, Miami didn\u2019t get a real chance to see how the core group of Herro, Rozier, Butler and Adebayo would work in a high-leverage scenario.<\/p>\n

With the Heat and\u00a0Charlotte Hornets\u00a0in the 2023-24 campaign, Rozier averaged 19.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 36.3 percent from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a nice addition to Miami\u2019s backcourt, but Spoelstra may want to see if he can fit alongside Herro since both players are known for their scoring prowess.<\/p>\n

Miami finished the 2023-24 season with the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference, and it certainly wants to improve on that finish in the 2024-25 season.<\/p>\n

The health of Miami\u2019s best players will be key, and Butler has vowed to try to\u00a0play in as many games\u00a0as he can this season.<\/p>\n

Butler has not played more than 64 games in a single season since joining the franchise ahead of the 2019-20 season. He\u2019s played in 58, 52, 57, 64 and 60 games with Miami.<\/p>\n

If Spoelstra can help establish some chemistry among this group, it should help the Heat when they open up the regular season later this month.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s first game of the 2024-25 regular season will come against the\u00a0Orlando Magic on Oct. 23.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
