Sits out for Greece
Antetokounmpo's absence wasn't due to restrictions from Miami, as Greece's federation indicated the decision was made as part of his preparation for the upcoming season. The 31-year-old will begin a new chapter with the Heat after being acquired from Milwaukee in a blockbuster trade this offseason.

The 30-year-old re-signed with Miami on a one-year deal this offseason after averaging 8.5 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 37.5 percent from three-point range across 70 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Miami's offseason additions have created considerably more competition for minutes, and Fontecchio will have to contend with a deep group of forwards that includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, Andrew Wiggins and Bobby Portis.

Jovic continued his impressive qualifying run, as he's now averaging 25.0 points while shooting 65.1 percent from the field through three appearances. The 23-year-old is coming off a disappointing 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting just 36.6 percent from the field across 47 regular-season games. His path to a larger role became more difficult after Miami acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis this offseason, but Jovic is entering the first season of his four-year extension and remains an intriguing developmental piece for the Heat.
