The alarms are still on in the locker room Miami Heatsince according to the report of journalist Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinelthe Mexican Jaime Jáquez Jr, is in doubt for the debut in the 2023/2024 season of the NBA.

The rookie of Aztec blood, but born in USAcontinues to recover from a groin muscle injurywhich he suffered during training, so they are being cautious to avoid aggravating or suffering a relapse.

“It was contactless. I approached to make a dunk and felt something squeezing my groin. I think it hurt a lot more than it actually did when it happened. Fear overwhelmed us a little, but we are fine. It’s more than just a simple strain, but we are being very cautious not to try to aggravate or make it worse again.”Jáquez Jr commented for Ira Winderman.

High expectations

After being selected in position 18 in the first round of the Draft this year (first Mexican chosen in the first round) after shining for 4 years with the UCLA UniversityJaime Jáquez Jr has done nothing but exceed expectations as a Heat rookie.

“It’s unusual for a college player to have that kind of poise, footwork and fundamentals. It is usually veteran players who learn that type of footwork. Patience usually takes a little time. But he’s a four-year-old, so he’s developed a lot of those skills and played in a lot of big games. We think that matters“Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said a few days ago.

In his debut in the Summer League, Jáquez Jr stood out in a big way, with 22 points, 3 rebounds, with 53 percent efficiency in field goals, connecting 8 of 15, including 3 3-point shots, while already in preseason in his first game, where he rubbed shoulders with All Stars as Bam Adebayo (from Miami) or LaMelo Ball For the Hornets, his rivals in the match, the Mexican-American also excelled with 13 points with 5 of 7 in field goals, and 3 of 4 in free throws, contributed 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the victory against Charlotte.

“I’ve been in the gym for a long time, since the summer, during training camp and now in the preseason. I feel like I’ve retained a lot of information, that I’ve improved a lot. And I think I’ve played well in the opportunities I’ve had. It’s about making the right play. When the season starts, I’ll be ready“added Jáquez Jr.

The Miami Heat starts the regular season until Wednesday, October 25, one day after opening day, debuting against the Detroit Pistonswhere it is still unknown if we will see Jaime become the sixth Mexican to play a regular season game in the best basketball league in the world, although if it does not end up being that day, surely very soon we will see him dress in shorts, and he will play his first minutes with Florida.
