    • Erik Spoelstra and Pat Riley were present in footage with Giannis.

    • 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.
