According to a report by the Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang, Vincent may return to the Heat during free agency.  

He said, “I haven’t had a better fit than being here in Miami. 

“Money plays a role; place plays a role, situation plays a role. There’s a lot of things that factor in and I think it will all take care of itself throughout the summer.”
