The Miami Heat are reportedly considering a reunion with guard Gabe Vincent to fill the final spot on the team roster. Center Bam Adebayo and coach Erik Spoelstra have expressed support for bringing the veteran back to the organization.

The move would reunite Vincent with the franchise where he previously competed in the NBA Finals.
