Jimmy Butler was confident that Bam Adebayo would be named to his first All-Star Game.

"He will be. No doubt," said Butler following the Heat's 113-92 win over the Magic.

Reserves for the All-Star Game will be announced on Thursday.

Adebayo finished the game with 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. He dedicated his performance to Kobe Bryant.

"I felt like I had that 'Mamba Mentality' tonight ... "The game wasn't about the All-Star Game. It was about honoring Kobe. I feel like every player wanted to do that their next game after his death. He's been my idol since I was younger. I looked up to him, and I never got to meet him, but he was here by spirit," said Adebayo.

Dion Waiters has publicly taken responsibility for the state of his season in which he has been suspended three separate times by the Miami Heat.

Waiters didn't address any of the incidents specifically.

“I’m a grown man. I don’t point fingers. I’m could easily say this and that, but at the end of the day, it’s me,” Waiters said. “I made immature decisions. So, you know, I take full responsibility.”

Waiters made his season debut on Friday and could play significant minutes this week with the Heat experiencing multiple injuries to perimeter players.

“There’s so many moving parts right now,” Erik Spoelstra said. “You just want everybody to put in the time behind the scenes and get into a healthy head space where you can contribute when your number is called and he did that. He still has a ways to go with his conditioning, particularly game conditioning. That’s to be expected. But he’s a gamer.”

Justise Winslow will be out at least two more weeks with a back injury.

Winslow has only played one game since December 4th with what is diagnosed as a bone bruise.

Winslow is averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 11 games.

The San Antonio Spurs have not yet decided whether they will explore the trade market on LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan, but a source contends they view the Miami Heat as a potential trade partner for either player.

DeRozan has a $27.7 million player option for the 20-21 season. Aldridge is due $24 million next season.

The Spurs would seek more than Justise Winslow, Derrick Jones Jr. and expiring contracts with Kendrick Nunn a possibility. 

Aldridge would be a more logical fit for the Heat and the team has pursued him in the past. 

The Heat are trying to maintain their 2021 cap space to presumably pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo. 

The Miami Heat have signed forward/center Kyle Alexander to a Two-Way contract.

Alexander, who was originally signed by the HEAT on July 15, 2019, has appeared in 23 games (21 starts) this season with Miami’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, averaging 10.6 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.17 blocks and 25.1 minutes while shooting 69.2 percent from the field. He leads the team in total rebounds (209), offensive rebounds (73), blocks (50) and double-doubles (7).

Alexander played all four seasons at Tennessee, finishing second on the school’s all-time list in blocks, appeared in 37 games (all starts) as a senior and averaged 7.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.73 blocks and 23.8 minutes while shooting 61.4 percent from the field and 42.9 percent (3-of-7) from three-point range.

Pat Riley and the Miami Heat made a bold sign-and-trade for Jimmy Butler last offseason a few months after nearly trading for him during the 18-19 season. Butler has helped elevate the Heat to playoff contenders again.

"There's a reason why we chased him so hard, and backed up the Brink's truck to get a max player," Erik Spoelstra said. "That was the idea: to have a guy that we believe can take us to a different level.

"That's what he's doing right now."

Butler allows the Heat offense to function without a traditional point guard in the starting lineup and also espouses all the principles of "Heat Culture".

Spoelstra even thinks about what would have happened had the Heat selected Butler in 2011 instead of Norris Cole.

"It felt like he should've been with us all along," Spoelstra said with a smile. "All along. I was joking about it with [Heat senior adviser] Chet Kammerer. ... I was saying, 'Man, looking back on it now, how great would Jimmy Butler have been drafting him after that first year with the Big Three?' Could've slotted him in with LeBron (James) be the point, Dwyane (Wade), Jimmy be your 3, CB (Chris Bosh), Shane (Battier) ... that team could've gone on."

"I'm just here to hoop," Butler said when asked if he thought about the future possibilities for the organization when he agreed to come to Miami. "I'll let Coach Pat, Coach Spo and everybody else in the front office deal with all of that.

"I just know that I wanted to be here, I am here, and whatever we do, if we stick with this team, our job is still to win. We're locked in right now, and we'll worry about the future when it gets here."

The Miami Heat plan on converting the Two-Way contract of Chris Silva to a standard three-year deal.

The Heat can first make this roster maneuver on Tuesday due to their status under the hard cap.

Silva has nearly used his entire allotment of 45 days under his Two-Way contract.

Silva is averaging 3.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 30 games (15.0 points, 13.3 rebounds per 36 minutes).

Jimmy Butler and T.J. Warren have each been fined for their roles in an incident during the Heat’s 122-108 win over the Pacers on Jan. 8 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

With 6:29 remaining in the third quarter, Butler and Warren each received technical fouls for having come face-to-face in a hostile manner. With 6:22 remaining in the third quarter, Butler committed an offensive foul against Warren, which has been upgraded to a Flagrant Foul 1 upon league office review. The foul call on Butler prompted a taunt from Warren, which resulted in his second technical foul and subsequent ejection. Following his ejection, Warren made an obscene gesture. After the game, Butler continued to escalate the incident via social media. 

Warren has been fined $25,000 for engaging in an altercation and making an obscene gesture following his ejection. Butler has been fined $35,000 for engaging in an altercation and escalating the incident on social media postgame. 

The Miami Heat have signed guard Gabe Vincent to a two-way contract and waived guard Daryl Macon. 

Vincent, who was originally signed by the Sacramento Kings on October 3, 2018, has spent the last two seasons with their G League affiliate, the Stockton Kings. He has appeared in 20 games (three starts) this season with Stockton averaging 23.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.30 steals and 31.8 minutes while shooting 46.9 percent from the field, 42.1 percent from three-point range and 89.7 percent from the foul line. He helped lead Stockton to a 13-8 record, which was third-best in the Western Conference, while leading the team in scoring average, points, field goals made, three-point field goals made and plus/minus. He played all four years at UC Santa Barbara, appearing in 113 collegiate games (105 starts), finishing as the school’s all-time leader in three-point field goals made (243) and among the Top 10 in points (1,441) and assists (116).

Macon appeared in 17 games (15 starts) this season with Miami's G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce, averaging 19.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 31.4 minutes. Additionally, Macon appeared in four games with Miami this season totaling three points and an assist in 14:06 minutes of action.

The Miami Heat will retire the jersey of Dwyane Wade during a series of events scheduled at AmericanAirlines Arena the weekend of February 21, 22 and 23, 2020.

Wade will make appearances at all three events.

The Friday evening event will honor Wade’s impact on NBA basketball, the Heat and the South Florida community. 

The actual number will be retired during halftime of Miami's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

The Sunday evening event will feature a screening of a new feature-length documentary that chronicles Wade’s NBA career and life off the court as he goes through his final year in the league, reflecting back on the personal and professional challenges, victories and set-backs throughout his unwavering journey.
