Provides spark off bench Fontecchio notched 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The eight boards were a season high for Fontecchio on Monday. The sharpshooter is working his way back into the favor of head coach Erik Spoelstra, as Fontecchio has played at least 17 minutes in three consecutive games after falling out of the rotation in the Jan. 13 win over the Suns.

Good to go Thursday Fontecchio (ankle) will play Thursday against Detroit.

Impact Fontecchio was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. The forward has played a minor role recently with 14.3 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Thursday Fontecchio (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Fonteccio didn't participate in Wednesday's practice but will travel with the Heat for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old forward hasn't logged double-digit minutes in any of Miami's last four games, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Misses practice Wednesday Fontecchio didn't practice Wednesday due to ankle inflammation, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The sharpshooter is traveling with the Heat to Detroit for Thursday's tilt against the Pistons, though. Miami has to provide an official injury report at some point ahead of that contest, which will shed more light on Fontecchio's status.

Fails to score Saturday Fontecchio finished Saturday's 142-116 victory over Indiana with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across three minutes.

Impact Fontecchio was back in the rotation, albeit for just three minutes during garbage time. After a somewhat promising start to the season, Fontecchio has gone by the wayside in recent times. In 11 games over the past month, he has averaged just 6.7 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes per contest, shooting a woeful 30.3 percent from the floor.

Rotating to bench Fontecchio will come off the bench Thursday against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The Heat have elected to switch up the starting lineup Thursday, as Kel'el Ware will step into the first unit in Fontecchio's place. The 30-year-old is averaging 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five matchups off the bench.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Herro Fontecchio will start against the Raptors on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact With Tyler Herro (toe) ruled out less than 30 minutes before tipoff, Fontecchio will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five outings, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

Pistons are finally vindicated for their harsh Simone Fontecchio decision Simone Fontecchio is proving the Pistons right with his recent poor play.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • PISTONPOWERED.COM

Plays just eight minutes in loss Fontecchio registered zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two assists over eight minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.

Impact Fontecchio's role has shrunk considerably over the last few weeks, as he has only registered one double-digit scoring performance in his last nine games. He also hasn't been shooting the ball well, averaging just 7.2 points on 31.0 percent from the field and 1.2 threes on a 20.8 percent clip in that span, but the sharpshooter does shoot 37.0 percent from beyond the arc on the season, so expect him to get his shooting numbers back on track in the future if he is given the opportunity to do so.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in loss Fontecchio totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to the Kings.

Impact With Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip) all unavailable, Fontecchio saw more than 25 minutes for just the second time this season. The 29-year-old forward made the most of the opportunity, setting a new season high in points while knocking down at least four triples for the fourth time this season. Fontecchio has seen the floor in four straight games, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Heat are making Simone Fontecchio realization that Pistons already knew The Miami Heat are slowly beginning to make the Simone Fontecchio realization that the Detroit Pistons already had learned.

Limited again in loss Fontecchio provided eight points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Fontecchio scored single digits for the sixth straight game, while his continued lack of peripheral stats makes him a non-factor in standard fantasy leagues. In 21 appearances for the Heat, Fontecchio has averaged 10.0 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles with shot Fontecchio chipped in eight points (2-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 106-102 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Through 14 games, Fontecchio was shooting 50 percent from deep. However, over his last four games, he's gone 5-for-32 from beyond the arc. His overall numbers still look good, averaging 10.8 points on 39.6 percent from three-point range, but his minutes might start to dip when Andrew Wiggins (hip), Norman Powell (groin) and Nikola Jovic (hip) return to action.

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hits two threes in win Fontecchio provided 10 points (2-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over the Warriors.

Impact Fontecchio extends his streak of hitting multiple three-pointers to six, but did not have a great shooting night Wednesday. On the season, Fontecchio averages 11.4 points and 2.6 threes on an astounding 47.6 percent clip, so expect him to post more efficient outings in the future.

Heat survive frantic rally at the buzzer to edge the Knicks 115-113

The Miami Heat have held off a late rally to beat the New York Knicks 115-113

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

Drops 13 off bench in loss Fontecchio racked up 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 130-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Fontecchio has now logged consecutive appearances of three or more three-pointers made, and is averaging 11.5 points and 2.5 threes on a blistering 50 percent clip from beyond the arc. Fontecchio should continue to get looks from the three-point line, as despite coming off the bench he is Miami's best shooter.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-digit scoring effort Fontecchio had 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 120-119 win over the Clippers.

Impact Fontecchio has been a steady source of offense off the bench, scoring in double figures in six of his first seven games. The sharpshooter's fantasy appeal is mostly limited to points and triples, but he should remain on deep-league radars until the Heat settle on a consistent member of the first unit in the frontcourt alongside Bam Adebayo.

Available Tuesday Fontecchio (calf) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Will Manso of Local 10 Miami reports.

Impact Fontecchio has been dealing with a calf issue, which has threatened to keep him sidelined. However, he'll be good to go. He's played well so far this season, averaging 13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 61.5 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc.
