As Miami Heat guard Ethan Thompson continues to pursue his NBA dream, he’ll realize another dream this weekend. Thompson, who has Puerto Rican roots on his mother’s side of the family, will be part of an NBA game in Puerto Rico when the Heat begins its six-game preseason schedule on Saturday against the Orlando Magic at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan (8 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Sun and NBA TV). “It was more than a dream come true, for sure,” Thompson said of finding out the Heat was playing a preseason game in Puerto Rico when he joined the team in August. “I dream about playing in the NBA and then having the ability to be part of a game that’s in Puerto Rico, an island that I love and has shown love to me. And growing up in the culture, being half Puerto Rican from my mom’s side, growing up with my grandparents, it’s a blessing for sure.”
