MIAMI — That Miami Heat schedule on the refrigerator? Likely wrong.

The update:

— That blank box on the Heat’s original 2025-26 schedule for Thursday? Now is a game night, with the Heat to face the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

— That home game listed for Friday against the Bulls at Kaseya Center? Actually, now a day off.

— That blank box on the schedule for Saturday? Now an 8 p.m. game against the Bulls at Kaseya Center.

All the result of the scheduled Jan. 8 Heat-Bulls game in Chicago that was postponed due to condensation on the court.

So, yes, three consecutive games against the Bulls — starting on Thursday night at 8 p.m. Eastern in Chicago, then 8 p.m. Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday at Kaseya Center.

It is only the second time in the NBA’s tracking over the past 50 years — outside of the playoffs, of course — that one team has faced another three consecutive games. The other time was in January 1988, before the Heat even entered the NBA, when Philadelphia and Washington met in three consecutive games over a six-day span, compared to this four-day Bulls-a-palooza.

According to the Heat, for those who cannot make it after purchasing tickets for the Friday home game against the Bulls that has now been moved to Saturday: “Resale will work similar to primary. Within the refund window fans will have a self-service refund option in their My Account.” But the Heat also noted Ticketmaster’s policy of, “Resale is all or nothing. All seats on order have to be eligible, if they transferred any off, sold any off or have any posted, self-service refund option will not show.”

For the Heat, it will be an all-expense-paid trip to Chicago, with the travel costs being covered due to the postponement that was out of their control.

As for the teams, the rescheduling created a run of four games in five nights for both the Heat and Bulls, with the Heat hosting the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night and the Bulls on Wednesday night playing at the Indiana Pacers.

The Heat’s original schedule featured 15 sets of games on consecutive days, slightly above the NBA 2025-26 average of 14.4 per game. The Heat now will have 17 such sets, one more than any other team, with the rescheduling adding two such sets.

The Jan. 8 game at the United Center was postponed after nearly a two-hour delay, as workers attempted to dry a court fed by condensation from the ice below, with the building also home to the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks. A combination of unseasonably warm temperatures and heavy rain left humidity inside the Bulls arena at an atypically high level.

Ware’s new team

With Tuesday night’s draft from rosters for the round-round Rising Stars tournament for young talent on Feb. 13 at All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, Heat center Kel’el Ware now has a team for the event.

Ware was drafted to Team T-Mac, to be coached by NBA legend Tracy McGrady.

Ware’s teammates on that roster for first- and second-year players are Washington’s Tre Johnson, Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel, Oklahoma City’s Ajay Mitchell, Washington’s Alex Sarr, Memphis’ Cam Spencer and Cleveland’s Jaylon Tyson.

G League honor

Heat two-way player Jahmir Young has been named NBA G League Player of the Week for his work with the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Young helped lead the Skyforce to a 2–1 record over the week, averaging 32.3 points, 10.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 40.1 minutes per game, shooting .529 from the field and .786 from the foul line.

Young, who entered the week having scored 20 or more points in 11 straight games and 30-plus points in four consecutive games, joined the Heat for Sunday night’s road game against the Phoenix Suns, before returning to the Skyforce.

Young is next expected to be named to the NBA G League’s Next Up Game on Feb. 15 in Los Angeles during NBA All-Star Weekend.
