Miami Heat’s Antetokounmpo and Mitchell build chemistry in Greece training session
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Davion Mitchell are seen practising pick-and-roll plays in Greece, as the Heat project a new starting lineup ahead of the 2026 season.
Miami Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has posted a video on the social media platform X showing him training with teammate Davion Mitchell, generating significant discussion among fans regarding their developing on-court chemistry. The footage, which appears to have been recorded in a gym in Greece, captures the pair engaging in rim attacks and finishing drills.
The two-time MVP is seen setting screens for Mitchell during pick-and-roll sequences in the video. The session has drawn positive reactions online, with supporters expressing enthusiasm for the potential partnership. One fan noted that the chemistry between the pair was "next level," while others highlighted the potential for lob opportunities and the overall excitement surrounding the upcoming season.
The workout comes as the Heat project a revised starting lineup for the 2026 season. Mitchell is expected to start at point guard alongside Tim Hardaway Jr. in the backcourt. The projected frontcourt features Andrew Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, and Bam Adebayo, a configuration described as offering a mix of versatile defenders and dynamic scorers.
Despite the projected roster strength, Heat executive Pat Riley and the front office are reportedly monitoring the possibility of further acquisitions. Sources indicate that the team is keeping options open, particularly regarding the potential acquisition of LeBron James, which could alter the current roster structure.
The Heat are currently viewed as title contenders with the Antetokounmpo addition, though the front office retains the capacity to make additional moves before the season begins. The upcoming campaign will test whether the projected lineup can translate the early training chemistry into on-court success.
