Heat Pick Up Option on Jaime Jaquez Jr.
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.
