San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat preview
The Heat only made one move in the 2025 draft, selecting Kasparas Jakucionis with the No. 20 pick. Apart from Jakucionis, they have many young talents on the roster and should field a formidable lineup.
Meanwhile, the Spurs snagged Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant with the No. 2 and No. 14 picks, respectively. They also have the 2024 Rookie of the Year, Stephon White. But it wouldn’t be surprising if White misses the Summer League, as he has grown into a key player for the Spurs.
Even without him, the Spurs look like a team to beat and are expected to put on a show. But the Heat are no pushovers, reaching the Summer League final ahead of the 2024-25 season.

San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat prediction
While it’s too early to say, the Spurs seem to have more quality on their young roster than Miami and should pull through. While the Heat have stacked their Summer League roster with many names, there are hardly any noticeable talents on the board.

Sameer’s gaming journey began with Rockstar Games’ GTA franchise, specifically
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. He strongly prefers multiplayer games, with FPS being his favorite genre, and has devoted 6K+ hours to CS:GO! However, he also dabbles in open-world, story-based games from time to time. Solo RPGs like Horizon Forbidden West hold a soft spot in his heart, and he would readily drop in it given a Jumanji-type scenario.
Sameer makes sure to follow Counter-Strike and Valorant esports tournaments, as he believes that watching a game being played at the highest level can be highly educational. He derives inspiration from Tarik’s meteoric rise to become one of the biggest FPS streamers in the world following the release of Valorant.
Outside of work, you can find Sameer playing football or cheering for FC Barcelona. He also likes to read and write poetry.
