The Miami Heat’s roster is built around center Bam Adebayo and guard Tyler Herro. Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell, Davion Mitchell and young big man Kel’el Ware round out the core under coach Erik Spoelstra. Below is every player as of the 2025-26 season, how each one landed in Miami, and where to confirm changes after trades and signings.
The full Miami Heat roster
I keep this table close to the team’s official roster page, which is the source to trust after any deal. Rosters move fastest around the February trade deadline and in July free agency.
| Player | Position | College / Country | How he got to Miami |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bam Adebayo | C | Kentucky | 2017 draft, No. 14 |
| Tyler Herro | G | Kentucky | 2019 draft, No. 13 |
| Andrew Wiggins | F | Kansas | Feb. 2025 Jimmy Butler trade |
| Norman Powell | G/F | UCLA | July 2025 three-team trade |
| Davion Mitchell | G | Baylor | Feb. 2025 Butler trade |
| Kel’el Ware | C | Indiana | 2024 draft, No. 15 |
| Jaime Jaquez Jr. | F | UCLA | 2023 draft, No. 18 |
| Nikola Jović | F | Serbia | 2022 draft, No. 27 |
| Pelle Larsson | G | Arizona / Sweden | 2024 draft, No. 44 (draft-night trade) |
| Kasparas Jakučionis | G | Illinois / Lithuania | 2025 draft, No. 20 |
| Simone Fontecchio | F | Italy | July 2025 trade with Detroit |
| Keshad Johnson | F | Arizona | Undrafted free agent, 2024 |
| Dru Smith | G | Missouri | Free agent |
| Terry Rozier | G | Louisville | Jan. 2024 trade with Charlotte |
Rozier needs a note. In October 2025 he was charged in a federal illegal gambling case, and the NBA placed him on leave. His lawyer has said he will fight the charges. Check the official roster for his current status before assuming he’s available.
Bam Adebayo
People searching “Edrice Adebayo” are looking for Bam. Edrice Femi Adebayo is his full name. He’s a three-time All-Star and a two-time Olympic gold medalist with Team USA (Tokyo and Paris). He’s also the defensive anchor Miami’s whole scheme is drawn around. He wears No. 13 and signed a three-year extension in 2024, so he’s the face of the team for the foreseeable future.
Tyler Herro
Herro won Sixth Man of the Year in 2022 and made his first All-Star team in 2025. He’s Miami’s most reliable shot creator, wears No. 14, and is the player most fans in the arena come to see score.
Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell
Both came in the deal that sent Jimmy Butler to Golden State. Wiggins brings a 2022 championship ring and All-Star résumé from the Warriors. Mitchell, picked up from Sacramento in the same trade, is the guard Spoelstra sends at the opponent’s best ball handler.
Norman Powell and Simone Fontecchio
Powell came from the Clippers in a three-team trade that moved Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson to Utah. He won a title with Toronto in 2019 and gives Miami a second creator next to Herro. Fontecchio arrived when Duncan Robinson went to Detroit in a sign-and-trade. He replaces some of that lost shooting.
The young core
This is where Miami’s future sits. Jaquez made the All-Rookie First Team in 2024 and Ware followed with an All-Rookie nod in 2025. Jović is a big forward who handles the ball. Larsson is a second-round pick who earned real minutes with his defense and cutting. Jakučionis, a Lithuanian guard, was the team’s top pick in 2025.
Local tip
Get to Kaseya Center when doors open. The young players and two-way guys often shoot early, and the lower bowl is far less crowded than at tipoff.
Two-way players and the local link
Two-way contracts let players split time between the Heat and their G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. They’re also the names I see rotate most often, so confirm them with the team.
| Player | Position | College | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vladislav Goldin | C | FAU, Michigan | Starred on FAU’s 2023 Final Four team in Boca Raton |
| Myron Gardner | F | Little Rock | Energy wing, Skyforce regular |
| Jahmir Young | G | Charlotte, Maryland | Scoring guard, returned on a two-way |
Goldin is the closest thing on the roster to a South Florida player. Palm Beach County fans watched him at FAU before his final college season at Michigan.
Trade rumors and roster moves
Miami is rarely quiet. National reporting has repeatedly linked the Heat to stars such as Giannis Antetokounmpo. Some of that comes from proven insiders like ESPN’s Shams Charania, but a report that teams are “interested” is not a trade. I treat anything short of an official team announcement or a deal reported by a proven insider as rumor. The anonymous accounts you’ll see on social media, many with mixed records, deserve even more skepticism.
Good to know
Fantasy and betting sites update injuries faster than they update rosters. For who is actually on the team, the Heat’s official roster and the NBA’s transaction log are the final word.
Retired numbers: Heat legends
Newer fans ask about these banners every time I bring them to a game. Seven numbers hang in the rafters.
| No. | Player | Heat years |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chris Bosh | 2010-2016 |
| 3 | Dwyane Wade | 2003-2016, 2018-2019 |
| 10 | Tim Hardaway | 1996-2001 |
| 23 | Michael Jordan | Honorary, never played for Miami |
| 32 | Shaquille O’Neal | 2004-2008 |
| 33 | Alonzo Mourning | 1995-2002, 2005-2008 |
| 40 | Udonis Haslem | 2003-2023 |
Haslem is the true homegrown story. He was born in Miami, starred at Miami Senior High and spent his entire 20-season career with the team.
Seeing the players in person
Home games are at Kaseya Center, 601 Biscayne Blvd. in downtown Miami. Metromover stops a short walk from the arena, and Metrorail riders can transfer at Government Center. That’s usually easier than paying for event parking. From Broward or Palm Beach, Brightline’s MiamiCentral station is close by.
