It remains to be seen whether Jakucionis will play against the Heat in Friday’s summer league contest since he just returned from playing overseas for his national team and is still finding his footing following the trade to the Bucks. But those on the Heat’s summer league roster who were Jakucionis’ Heat teammates last season hope he’s on the court Friday. “That first game is going to be fun,” said Heat summer league guard Trevor Keels, who closed last season on a two-way contract with Miami. “I know the fans and everybody is excited for that game. I hope he plays. We haven’t seen him because he was playing with the Lithuanian team. I’m just happy to see him. Hopefully he plays. It’s good to play against him. He’s a hell of a player. So it’ll be good for us.”
