He also won the league\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year award in 2020 and is the Bucks\u2019 all-time leader in points, rebounds, assists and blocks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Last season, Antetokounmpo averaged 29.8 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game while earning another All-NBA First Team selection. His arrival in Miami came as part of one of the NBA\u2019s biggest blockbuster trades of the offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Portis, 31, reunites with Antetokounmpo after spending the past seven seasons with the Bucks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The veteran forward is entering his 12th NBA season after averaging 13.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 48.8% from the field and 45.6% from 3-point range on 4.4 attempts per game last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Heat is the fifth team of Portis\u2019 NBA career. He previously played for the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, New York Knicks and Bucks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The introductions come as Miami continues to reshape its roster following an active offseason centered around acquiring Antetokounmpo, a move that immediately elevated expectations for the franchise entering the 2026-27 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">For now, fans in Miami are already imagining what comes next.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">And don\u2019t forget, you can watch Miami Heat games on Local 10 next season as WPLG Local 10 and the Heat announced a newly expanded media rights agreement, making Local 10 the home of HEAT basketball across South Florida! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.local10.com\/sports\/local\/2026\/06\/08\/wplg-local-10-becomes-the-home-of-the-miami-heat\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a> for more information on how to watch!<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Heat fans can also call 786-777-4375 for more information on how to purchase tickets for the 2026-2027 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 The Miami Heat will officially introduce its two biggest offseason additions Thursday at Kaseya Center, with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[749,5526,5531,5529,5528,123,125,124,5530,5532,5527],"class_list":["post-342352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news-video","tag-live-speeches","tag-live-updates","tag-live-video","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-press-conference","tag-real-time-coverage","tag-video-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
