What happened
Sunday’s preseason meeting between Minnesota and Miami comes before their regular-season opener, and the preview says regulars and rotation players will probably only see the first half, if they play at all, while Joan Beringer’s usage is worth monitoring.
The same preview notes Miami’s offseason addition of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Minnesota’s departures of Julius Randle and Naz Reid, framing this as an early look at how each roster is being reworked.
Because this is a preseason game, the main lineup takeaway is timing rather than certainty: minutes may be abbreviated, and any frontcourt or bench combinations could change once both teams stop hiding their cards.
