Giannis posted a video documenting his first day inside the Heat organization and was shown in drills and meetings.
Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley were present in footage with Giannis.
Klay Thompson participated in the same California sessions and worked through offensive sets.
Reporters and team staff said the measurement for Thompson is whether his pull-up and catch-and-shoot accuracy at age 36 remains an asset.
Miami wants shooters who force defenses to cover the perimeter to create lanes for Giannis and Bam Adebayo.
Spoelstra spent time observing Thompson move through sets to evaluate fit ahead of training camp.
Giannis’s presence in minicamp footage signals early integration but is not an official medical or availability declaration.
Observers note the team will need to confirm Thompson’s shooting consistency and physical readiness during controlled training-camp sessions starting Sept. 29.
No roster moves or lineup decisions were announced in the report.
