Heat to host ‘Vice City Night’ in mid-November matchup vs Bucks

In an announcement made via the official Miami Heat socials channels, the organization will be hosting an official ‘Vice City’ themed night in their November 18 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.

For one night only, the HEAT trade Miami for Vice City.

The idea of the theme is a partnership with Rockstar Games in preparation for the widely anticipated new Grand Theft Auto video game release. The night comes with a brand new, “never-before-seen” Vice jersey that the entire team will wear for the game— along with an unveiling of a new court theme.

Rockstar’s upcoming GTA 6 takes place in Miami as the main geographical setting of the game.

However, this won’t be the only headline of this matchup on the schedule. It will also be the first official regular season home return for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware and Kasparas Jakucionis as part of the trade package in their Giannis Antetokounmpo blockbuster earlier in the summer. For Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis, it will be the first time they face their former teams as well.
