The 2016β17 Miami Heat season was the 29th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
After a tumultuous negotiation process, Dwyane Wade decided to leave the Heat and sign with his hometown Chicago Bulls in the offseason. This was the first season without Wade since 2002-03. Although the Heat would re-acquire Wade via a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers a season later, his departure made Udonis Haslem the new longest tenured player on the roster, as Haslem first joined the Heat in August 2003, a month after Wade did. Furthermore, Chris Bosh missed the entire season and had thought about potentially retiring altogether due to his continuous blood clots. Bosh had not played since February 9, 2016. It was the NBA's first full season without Bosh since 2002-03, and the Heat's first since 2009-10. After spending the next 2 seasons as a free agent, Bosh would later announce his retirement from the NBA on February 12, 2019. [1]
The team got off to an 11β30 start. However, the Heat rallied to go 30β11 down the stretch, only to be eliminated after the last game of the season. They entered game 82 needing a loss from either the Pacers or the Bulls and a victory over the Wizards. However, despite a 110β102 win over the Washington Wizards, both the Pacers and the Bulls won their games. The Heat finished tied with the Chicago Bulls with identical 41β41 records but the Bulls won the head-to-head tie breaker against the Heat 2β1. As a result, the Heat missed the playoffs for the second time in three years.
Hassan Whiteside earned praise for being the NBA's leading rebounder after ending his previous season as the leading shot blocker in the NBA.
The Heat did not have a pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
