Miami Heat still seeking final roster spot as training camp begins

Summary

Training camp for the Miami Heat has commenced, but the team has yet to fill its last open roster spot. Miami is in the market for an additional guard, exploring options including Gabe Vincent and Ryan Nembhard, while missing out on D’Angelo Russell, who has signed with the Shanghai Sharks after his time in the NBA. Internal interest persists for Vincent, but health concerns and other factors have stalled Miami's decision-making process. With 14 players already signed, the Heat may opt to start the season with limited roster depth until a final choice is made.
