Heat Summer League roster 2023: Details of players, coaches, schedule and more

The Miami Heat will kick off their Summer League campaign in a few hours' time. This is the first time we will see Miami in action since its loss to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.

The Heat will be led by assistant coach and longtime veteran Caron Butler. Their first game is slated for Monday, July 3. Miami will be facing off against the LA Lakers. For those who want to catch a glimpse of the action, the matchup will be televised on ESPN 2.

The Heat will then take on the Sacramento Kings on July 5 before traveling to Las Vegas to face the Boston Celtics on July 8. They round out their campaign with games against the Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets.

Looking at the Heat Summer League roster, one name that sticks out is Jamie Jaquez Jr. Miami drafted the 6-foot-7 wing with the 18th overall pick in the NBA Draft. Jaquez is coming off a senior season at UCLA where he posted averages of 17.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

Another key name for Miami's Summer League squad is two-way player Jamaree Bouyea. The 6-foot-2 guard played in just five games for the Miami Heat this past season. In that span, he averaged 3.0 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 0.8 assists.

What current players will be on the Heat Summer League roster?

A handful of players, including Jamal Cain, Nikola Jovic, and Orlando Robinson, will feature on the Heat Summer League roster.

Cain is one of the many undrafted players on Miami's roster that they've rolled the dice on. In the 18 appearances he made this past season, Cain averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.7 assists.

Jovic was the Heat's first-round pick in 2022, but also didn't see much time at the NBA level. He played in just 15 games and averaged 5.5 points and 2.1 rebounds. Despite minimal time on the floor, Jovic caught a lot of buzz on social media due to having a similar name to two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

Similar to Cain, Robinson was an undrafted player that wound up in Miami. The seven-foot center saw the most time among this trio, playing in 31 games. He finished the year with averages of 3.7 points and 4.1 rebounds.
