Erik Spoelstra is 'embracing the unknown' entering new season
""There's an element of unknown with this team," he said, according to Ethan Skolnick of Five Reasons Sports. "It's invigorated me. I'm embracing the unknown. There's some things we do know ... But I think when you can also have a season where you're not totally sure, but there's big possibilities where guys can grow. ... It's exciting.""

The Miami Heat begin the 2025-26 season in a new phase without Jimmy Butler after his February trade to Golden State. The team tied its worst record (37-45) in recent seasons and went 26-37 without Butler, including a 12-17 post-All-Star break despite a solid NET Rating over that stretch. Closing games proved a weakness last year. Head coach Erik Spoelstra expresses optimism and embraces uncertainty as an opportunity for player development. The roster centers on a young core led by Nikola Jovic and Kel'el Ware, supplemented by additions such as Powell and Simone Fontecchio.
