Breaking News: Miami Heat Make Last-Minute Move Before Trade Deadline
The PJ Tucker and Miami Heat reunion lasted less than 14 hours as he was traded for Davion Mitchell of the Toronto Raptors.
The Heat traded Tucker, a second-round pick, and cash considerations for Mitchell, dropping the Heat below the first apron.
Mitchell averaged 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 43.4 percent shooting and 35.9 percent from three-point range with the Raptors.
His playstyle is similar to Dru Smith, who had a breakout season for the Heat before tearing his achilles earlier in the year. Without Smith, the Heat lost a major defensive piece to their team and one of their only point-of-attack defenders.
The Heat’s defense has been inconsistent since Smith went down, and Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins are great additions under Erik Spoelstra’s system. He has led the Heat to being ranked top 10 in defense in seven of his last eight seasons.
Mitchell is a restricted free agent and can be a long-term piece after this season if they choose to resign the fourth-year guard.
MIAMI HEAT BROADCASTERS SHARE FINAL THOUGHTS ON JIMMY BUTLER’S HISTORIC TENURE
After Jimmy Butler once said he would like to retire with the Miami Heat, his tenure with the team ended as he was traded to the Golden State Warriors Wednesday.
The news broke during the Heat’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, so many couldn’t share their final thoughts during the game. John Crotty and Eric Reid spoke afterward to give their opinions on Butler’s historic run with the franchise.
Reid began first sharing his view of the situation and how, despite the success, it was unfortunate how things ended between Butler and the Heat.
“The Jimmy Butler journey has ended with Miami,” Reid said. “Butler has been traded to the Golden State Warriors. The details will get flushed out overnight, and we’ll find out who is staying and who is going. But we know Jimmy Butler’s time in Miami has ended. I just want to say this about Butler. History and time will pass on. He will go down as one of the great players in franchise history, but it was a difficult, sad, and sort of ugly ending. But it’s over now, and that clarity is good for everybody.”
Crotty finished their farewell sentiments by comparing his experience as a former player being traded and how both the Heat and Butler can move on with their futures.
“I think the clarity is important,” Crotty explained. “As a former player, the perspective is you feel like okay. Now, we can move forward. He’s not coming back. There’s the ability now to understand these are the players that we have, and the coaching staff is going to embrace us. There’s a youthful feel with guys like Kel’el Ware coming into the mix. You see a reinvigoration in Bam Adebayo, who’s moved to the four spot. And he’s playing his best basketball now with Kel’el. And I think it’s exciting for what can potentially transpire.”
HEAT VS. SIXERS TAKEAWAYS: MIAMI HEAT’S YOUNG CORE FLOURISHED IN A VICTORY
The Miami Heat (25-24) start the post-Jimmy Butler era undefeated, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers (20-30) 108-101.
Here’s a look at four major takeaways from the matchup:
1. Tyler Herro shakes off two inefficient games with another 30-point game.
Herro finished with 30 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists on 55 percent shooting and 45.5 percent from three-point range. This was his 11th 30-point game of the season. Without Butler, Herro remains the Heat’s primary scorer as teams start their defensive coverages with him being their main priority.
2. Bam Adebayo continues his surge back into All-Star form.
Adebayo finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists on 50 percent shooting and 33.3 percent from three-point range. Although he ended his streak of four consecutive games, scoring at least 20 points, he was still largely impactful on the boards. He is three double-doubles away from being the Heat’s franchise leader in this category. Another reason for his recent success is his mid-range shot has been pure and consistent.
3. Nikola Jovic is continuing his breakout season in every aspect.
Jovic finished with 23 points, five rebounds, and seven assists on 88.9 percent shooting and 75 percent from three-point range. This is back-to-back games with at least 20 points on 70 percent shooting. He has become a very consistent shooter and a reliable playmaker when he has the ball in his hands. He has only missed four shots total over the last two games.
4. Terry Rozier redeemed himself after an awful game the night before.
After going 2-12 from the field against the Chicago Bulls and having fans question why he was still in the game, he bounced back significantly. Rozier finished with 20 points, five rebounds, and two assists on 47.1 percent shooting and 42.9 percent from three-point range. A major flaw of Rozier’s offense in several bad games this year, beyond his struggles from the perimeter, was his inability to convert on layups. This was not an issue for either tonight, as he got whatever he wanted against the Sixer’s defense.

Patients left scrambling for care after Miami-Dade woman accused of operating an unlicensed surgery recovery center
A 38-year-old woman is behind bars after authorities say she operated an unlicensed plastic surgery recovery center out of an Airbnb in southwest Miami-Dade County, leaving several patients scrambling for care after her arrest.
Kerri Smith faces charges of operating an assisted living facility without a license and an organized scheme to defraud. Investigators say she collected more than $200,000 from clients seeking post-surgical care. Her arrest disrupted the recoveries of at least six women who were staying at the home after undergoing cosmetic procedures.
“I’m really disappointed. Extremely disappointed,” said Janell Dunn, one of the patients who traveled from Orlando for surgery and aftercare.
Dunn said that during her five-day stay, she saw about 12 women cycle through the property. She described chaos unfolding when deputies arrived to arrest a caretaker. “We were all looking at each other like, ‘What are we going to do now?’” Dunn said.
Authorities allege the operation was unsafe and poorly managed. In court, a prosecutor cited complaints of overcrowding, bug infestations, rodents, and improper handling of medical waste.
Despite those allegations, Smith told a judge she had been working to bring the business into compliance, stating, “I got educated. Hired a consultant.”
Patients, however, say they were left with little warning to find new accommodations after paying thousands of dollars for post-operative care. Dunn said she struggled physically in the aftermath, forced to move and lift items despite being in the early stages of recovery.
“I’ve been pushing, pulling, tugging, doing things I shouldn’t be doing at this point,” she said.
Some women booked hotel rooms after being forced out. Tonita Caban, a woman with experience caring for post-surgery patients, took in Dunn. Caban said she couldn’t turn Dunn away after hearing her story through a social media group for post-op patients. She calls Dunn an “angel”.
“And you’re here with me, and you’ll always be my little sister,” Caban told her. “Someone you can count on.” Caban said she is not charging Dunn for her stay, acknowledging the money she already lost to Smith’s now-shuttered operation.
Smith remained in custody at TGK on Wednesday evening.

This new Italian restaurant in Brickell only has 10 items on the menu
In a city where menus can read like novellas and cocktails arrive with enough smoke, sparks and theatrics to qualify as performance art, a new Brickell restaurant is taking the opposite approach and betting that fewer choices might actually make dinner better.
At Allegro Ma Non Troppo, a new 38-seat Italian restaurant that recently opened at 1000 South Miami Avenue, you’ll find exactly 10 food items on the menu. Not 10 sections. Not 10 pages. Just 10 dishes, period.
The concept comes from a group of longtime restaurant industry colleagues who wanted to create something that feels more like an Italian grandmother’s dining room than a typical Miami restaurant. There are no reservations, no phone number and no sprawling menu. Instead, guests simply show up, grab a table and eat what the kitchen does best.
The menu follows a simple formula: four appetizers, three mains, two sides and one dessert. Among the highlights are a Caesar salad made using Caesar Cardini’s original 1924 dressing recipe from Tijuana, a Wagyu bolognese “lazy lasagna” layered with Italian sausage and slow-cooked ragù, a free-range chicken cotoletta alla Milanese and a whole branzino prepared with little more than olive oil, lemon and rosemary. And then, of course, there’s the shareable dessert course. Every main course is cooked in the restaurant’s single oven and there are no fryers anywhere in sight.
What makes Allegro Ma Non Troppo particularly personal is the story behind it. The restaurant serves as a tribute to co-owner Carlos Galan’s mother, who died earlier this year at age 102. Many of her belongings now decorate the space, helping the restaurant feel more like a family home than a polished dining concept.
“The goal was never to create a perfect luxury restaurant,” Galan said. “It was to create a place where people feel genuinely welcomed, nourished, and emotionally connected the moment they walk through the door.”
Co-owner Vanessa Velez says the team hopes diners remember more than just what was on their plates. “We always want to touch the customer emotionally, because when you touch someone’s emotions, you leave a mark,” she said. “Our goal is to leave a lasting imprint on our guests’ hearts.”
Whether the 10-item menu becomes Miami’s next dining obsession remains to be seen. But in a neighborhood packed with restaurants competing to do more, Allegro Ma Non Troppo is making a compelling case for doing less.
