Simone Fontecchio News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat

Out with groin issue Fontecchio has a left groin strain and will not play Thursday against the Nets.

Impact This is a new issue for Fontecchio for the front end of this back-to-back set. With this news, the Heat could rely more on Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware.

Garbage-time run in easy win Fontecchio racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 win over the Nets.

Impact With the Heat fairly healthy, Fontecchio is falling out of favor with head coach Erik Spoelstra. The 20 minutes were Fontecchio's first time in double digits since Feb. 11, and the enhanced workload likely had more to do with the blowout nature of Tuesday's contest.

Coming off bench Friday Fontecchio is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Celtics on Friday.

Impact Fontechhio is coming off an 18-point performance against the Hawks on Tuesday. He has started in each of Miami's last two games, but he'll return to the bench for Friday's contest due to the return of Andrew Wiggins.

Tallies 18 points in loss Fontecchio closed with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Fontechhio scored 18 points, tallying double digits for just the second time in the past six games. Starting for the second straight game, Fontecchio also logged a season-high 34 minutes, highlighting the current struggles in Miami. While this was an encouraging performance, there is no need to overreact here. He should continue to be looked at as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate, in specific situations.

Scores season-high 23 points Fontecchio notched 23 points (7-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 133-124 loss to the Magic.

Impact Fontecchio posted his best scoring output of the season Wednesday and was deadly from three-point range, with his six threes made also representing a season-high output for the four-year veteran. Fontecchio has been enduring a tough season in Miami but has shown signs of turning things around of late. He has scored in double digits in six of his last seven contests, averaging 13.7 points per game and shooting 48.9 percent from deep in that span.

Strong effort off bench Fontecchio had 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 127-110 loss to Portland.

Impact Fontecchio saw an uptick in opportunities Thursday night and took full advantage. He led the Miami reserves with 17 points and looked strong once again from downtown. The 30-year-old has been on a heater from three over his last two appearances, knocking down eight of 15 attempts. It wouldn't be a shock to see Fontecchio continue to get looks off the bench while Tyler Herro (ribs) and Kel'el Ware (hamstring) are sidelined.

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.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.
