If this does indeed happen, it will be the first look fans get at the Heat since the suspension of the NBA’s season back in March.
The last game the Heat played before the suspension of the season was when they hosted the Charlotte Hornets on March 11. The Hornets won the game by a score of 109-98.
The Heat’s two other scrimmages will be against the Utah Jazz on July 25 and the Memphis Grizzlies on July 28.
Currently, the Heat have a record of 41-24 and sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
Miami’s first official game back will be on Aug. 1 against the Denver Nuggets.
