 | Gabe Vincent, Nick Richards and Keshad Johnson are in contention for the final spots on Miami`s roster.13-11-2026 |
The Heat could sign Richards, Vincent or Johnson. With the arrival of Klay Thompson, Miami has filled 13 roster spots. According to insider Mark Steyn, three players are vying for the final two spots.
Now the Heat must decide whether they want to enter 14 or 15 players for the regular season. `Nick Richards is still considered a top candidate if Miami decides to add another big man, while former Heat players Gabe Vincent and Keshad Johnson are also on the list, ` Stein wrote.
Vincent was the Heat`s starting point guard as they reached the NBA Finals in 2023. His confident performance prompted the Lakers to sign him to a 3-year contract worth $33 million, but the basketball player was unable to demonstrate his previous level, including due to a knee injury. Vincent, 30, was traded to Atlanta last season and averaged 4. 4 points, 1 rebound and 1. 4 assists.
Richards, 28, played last season for Phoenix and Chicago, averaging 5. 8 points and 5. 1 rebounds.
Johnson went undrafted in 2024 and signed a two-way contract with the Heat that was later converted to a standard contract. The 25-year-old forward averaged 4. 3 points and 1. 9 rebounds in the 2025-26 season and also won the dunk competition.
