The coronavirus pandemic halted the NBA season four months ago, the equivalent of an entire offseason. It is easy to forget where everyone left off, let alone what has changed since we last saw them play basketball. In order to get you up to speed before the July 30 season re-opening slate at Walt Disney World in Orlando, we will be reviewing and previewing each of the 22 teams scheduled to participate.
Where were the Miami Heat?
Record: 41-24
Place: Fourth in the East
The Miami Heat were 14 games into employing a retooled rotation, having swapped the injured and seldom-used Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters and James Johnson for veterans Andre Iguodala, Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill at the trade deadline.
