The 2018–19 Miami Heat season was the 31st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
This was Dwyane Wade's final season, after playing 16 years in the NBA.[1] Believed by many to be the best player in franchise history, Wade led the team to its first championship title in 2006, as well as back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. He also led the team to a total of 11 playoff appearances, and Finals appearances in 2011 and 2014 and won the scoring title in 2009. Including his honorary All-Star spot this season, Wade has 13 total NBA All-Star Game appearances to his name, including an All-Star MVP Award in 2010.
On March 26, 2019, the Heat retired Chris Bosh's jersey prior to their game versus the Orlando Magic. A free agent since 2017, Bosh officially announced his retirement on February 12, 2019, due to an ongoing battle with blood clots that ended his playing career in 2016.[2]
The Heat were eliminated from playoff contention for the third time in five years on April 9, when the Detroit Pistons defeated the Memphis Grizzlies. As of 2023, this was the last time that the Heat missed the playoffs.
Draft picks
The Heat did not have a pick in the 2018 NBA draft, with their selections having been traded to the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies (later Houston Rockets), respectively.
