NBACentral: Minnesota’s trade package is gaining momentum as the one Milwaukee values most, with the Bucks valuing Minnesota and Miami’s packages over Golden State’s, per @JakeLFischer (Via @BleacherReport / h/t @HeatCulture13 )
Ira Winderman: Heat say Norman Powell (personal) is out for tonight's game vs. visiting Hawks. Tyler Herro (ribs) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) previously had been ruled out.
Anthony Chiang: While the Heat has registered some level of interest in Ja Morant in recent weeks, a league source says the Heat’s focus remains on Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
The focus has been on the Miamis, and Minnesota’s because those are believed to be teams Giannis would like to end up with. Golden State was described as one of those team for a half decade but there has been some questions, and rumbles lately if Giannis is still armored with the idea of teaming up with the Warriors as he once was 4-5 years ago and there is some active skepticism about that, that he doesn’t see the Warriors as a landing spot

Miami HEAT: #ATLvsMIA INJURY UPDATE: Tyler Herro (ribs) has been ruled out of tonight's game vs the Hawks. Nikola Jovic (hip) and Norman Powell (personal reasons) are both listed as questionable.
Q. How much was Magic freelancing the key to success of that team, the Showtime? Byron Scott: I think every opportunity that he got to kind of go off script of things that were supposed to be playing because of the way that opponents played us, it was probably 75 percent of the time. As great a coach as Pat Riley was, Magic, I still say to this day the greatest point guard I've ever seen.
Heat Central: The Warriors or Timberwolves didn’t have any counter offers from the Bucks as of yesterday, per @sam_amick “The Warriors came out the gate real strong going after Giannis. It feels very much like the Bucks essentially took their offer and have been shopping it to everyone else. Late yesterday, Warriors had no counter offer from the Bucks and waiting for clarity. That was also the case for Minnesota. People are studying the way the Bucks are moving they aren’t really going back and forth”
Shams Charania: The Bucks are sifting through proposals specifically from the heat Wolves, Knicks and Warriors. And throughout the whole process, the Bucks have wanted a young blue chip talent and or a surplus of draft picks. And so my understanding is the Warriors have made a pick heavy offer. Minnesota is more of a player centric offer, and Miami is somewhere in the middle, somewhere between players and picks. And so the Bucks are going to have to choose. Do we take one of these offers?
Anthony Chiang: Tyler Herro (ribs) ruled out for tomorrow’s game vs. Hawks in Miami. Nikola Jovic (hip) and Norman Powell (personal reasons) listed as questionable.

An arbitrator on Monday ruled in favor of Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier in a salary dispute with the NBA that arose after he was federally indicted in a gambling investigation, sources told ESPN. Rozier's salary, which had been held in escrow since December, will be released after the arbitrator found that under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, players cannot be put on unpaid leave other than in cases of domestic abuse or child abuse, sources familiar with the ruling said.
The Heat and NBA agreed to put Rozier's salary for the 2025-26 season in escrow after Rozier was arrested and indicted in October as part of a federal gambling investigation that also ensnared Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups. The NBPA appealed the agreement to withhold his salary, which is approximately $26.6 million.
Sidelined Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro has bypassed an invitation to attempt to defend his 2025 championship in the 3-point contest during NBA All-Star Weekend, to instead focus on getting back on the court. Herro won last year’s contest in San Francisco, defeating Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield in the final round.
