Heat Pick Up Option on Jaime Jaquez Jr.
The Miami Heat picked up their team option for guard/forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. on Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. This will tie Jaquez Jr. with the team through the 2026-27 season. After the $5.9 million fourth-year option expires, Jaquez Jr. will become a restricted free agent in the summer of 2027 unless he agrees to a contract extension. Jaquez Jr. was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team in 2024, but he struggled during his sophomore year. The 24-year-old averaged 8.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 20.7 minutes last season. Jaquez Jr. is currently projected to have a bench role for the upcoming campaign, which limits his fantasy appeal.
