Giannis Antetokounmpo Joins Revamped Miami Heat Roster for Training Camp

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is using training camp to build urgency and cohesion after the team missed the playoffs last season. The roster has been substantially reshaped, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Klay Thompson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bobby Portis replacing several of the team’s leading scorers. Thompson said Spoelstra’s demanding, encouraging approach left him energized, while Spoelstra stressed that the group understands its shared goal. Antetokounmpo’s pairing with Bam Adebayo has raised expectations, and Doc Rivers said Miami’s ability to build a coherent system around its stars could be decisive. The team is also looking to make its faster-paced offense work more effectively with the new roster.
