It’s been a rough morning for Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra. It doesn’t even relate to the recent loss they took to the Denver Nuggets. The veteran coach was reportedly outside of his Miami-Dade house early in the morning, watching as firefighters battled to extinguish a large fire.

The news channels caught a glimpse of the destruction. Initially, the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue reported a call came in at 4:36 a.m. about a “structure fire at single-family residence,” according to NBC Miami. The house is registered to Spoelstra, the Heat’s head coach since 2008. No injuries were reported from the scene.

However, the house itself seems burned to the ground. The firefighters battled against the lethal fire for hours until it was finally extinguished. Multiple fire agencies were present at the location, trying to ensure the fire didn’t spread through the dense Coral Gables neighborhood. So far, no other property damage has been reported.

It’s a tough time for Erik Spoelstra and his family. According to reports, a section of the house has been completely destroyed. Understanding what the home meant, countless memories may have perished due to the fire. The exact cause for the same hasn’t been confirmed yet.

But it isn’t just Coach Spo who is grieving the horrendous situation. The entire NBA community came together to offer their prayers.

Still, it was a major loss for the family. Spoelstra has been a part of the Miami community for decades. Furthermore, fans adore him for the contributions he has made to the Heat. In such times, several of them spared their kind thoughts. “Prays to Erik Spoelstra and his family this morning damn man,” a fan commented.
