Jaime Jaquez Flirts with Triple-Double, Continues Strong November Play for Heat

On Friday, November 14, 2025, Jaime Jaquez delivered a near triple-double performance for the Miami Heat, logging 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, and one block in 34 minutes during a 140-132 loss to the Knicks. The third-year pro finished second on the Heat in points, rebounds, and assists for the game. Jaquez has taken on a larger role off the bench due to Tyler Herro's heel absence to start the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists over 30.8 minutes through eight November games. The 24-year-old forward, who signed a two-year, $7.2 million contract in July 2023 and had his team options for 2025-26 and 2026-27 exercised, was a consensus second-team All-American and Pac-12 Player of the Year at UCLA.
