Start of somewhat busy week for Heat, with intrasquad scrimmage Tuesday at Kaseya Center and then home exhibitions Thursday (Pelicans) and Saturday (Timberwolves).

Yup, Heat flight to Quebec City from MIA departed 9:23 p.m. Friday (5:53 late) and arrived 12:57 a.m. today (6:04 late). Game was a late add after Middle East games canceled by NBA. That was after Heat drove back from camp in Boca Raton same day.

To be exact, flight landed in Quebec City at 12:57 a.m. this morning. Wonder if that impacts who plays in tonight’s preseason opener. Erik Spoelstra said yesterday after practice that the plan was to play some of the regulars.
