The 1988–89 Miami Heat season was Miami's inaugural season in the NBA. The Heat were the first of two expansion teams to play in the state of Florida over a two-year period, and along with the Charlotte Hornets, joined the NBA in 1988. The team revealed a new primary logo of a red basketball on fire going through a hoop, and got new uniforms adding red and black to their color scheme. The Heat received the ninth overall pick in the 1988 NBA draft, and selected center Rony Seikaly out of Syracuse University. The team's primary logo and uniforms both remained in use until 1999.

  • The 1988–89 Miami Heat season was Miami's inaugural season in the NBA. The Heat were the first of two expansion teams to play in the state of Florida over a two-year period, and along with the Charlotte Hornets, joined the NBA in 1988. The team revealed a new primary logo of a red basketball on fire going through a hoop, and got new uniforms adding red and black to their color scheme. The Heat received the ninth overall pick in the 1988 NBA draft, and selected center Rony Seikaly out of Syracuse University. The Heat made their debut on November 5 in a losing effort to the Los Angeles Clippers by a score of 111-91 at the Miami Arena. Rory Sparrow made the first basket in franchise history. The Heat lost an NBA record 17 games to start their inaugural season.On December 14, they won their first game of the season by beating the Clippers in Los Angeles by a score of 89-88. Five games later, the Heat won their first game ever at home when they beat the Utah Jazz, 101-80. The Heat finished their first season with a 15-67 record. The club's leading scorer was Kevin Edwards, who averaged 13.8 points per game. Despite their location, the NBA placed the Heat in the Midwest Division of the Western Conference. This meant that the Heat were forced on some of the longest and farthest road trips in the NBA in 1988-89 as their closest divisional opponent was the Houston Rockets which were located over 950 miles away. The team's primary logo and uniforms both remained in use until 1999. (en)
