Phoenix Suns forward Jae Crowder raised some eyebrows with a tweet suggesting a Heat reunion.

Before joining the Suns, Crowder helped the Heat make the 2020 NBA Finals his one season in Miami. They lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.  Crowder averaged 11 points and five rebounds while shooting 48 percent from the field in 20 games.
