Riley said the Heat will stay focused on winning and will be aggressive in roster upgrades this summer after one playoff victory in three seasons.
- On Monday, Miami Heat president Pat Riley rejected retirement rumors during his annual press conference, insisting he remains committed to building another championship-winning team and still aims for a parade down Biscayne Boulevard.

- Riley confirmed the team will be aggressive in upgrading the roster this summer, calling center Bam Adebayo untouchable in trade talks, while Tyler Herro will return for training camp after undergoing a preemptive foot procedure.
- Managing general partner Micky Arison and CEO Nick Arison retain final decision-making authority, Riley confirmed, noting this structure has remained consistent throughout his tenure while clarifying he lacks final say on roster decisions.
