NEW ORLEANS — Trade deadline day came and went without a Miami Heat move.
The Heat’s trade came on the eve of the deadline, when it opened another roster spot, added flexibility under the luxury tax and unlocked additional first-round picks to deal by sending seldom-used forward KZ Okpala to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick.
That was the Heat’s only trade before Thursday’s 3 p.m. NBA deadline.
