In an interview with Sky Sports, Fontecchio praised the culture around Miami and talked about his season: "I'm overall satisfied, even though it's been a season with a few ups and downs on a personal level," he started. "I started off really well, and that raised everyone's expectations a bit. Then, in December, I didn't perform well. I'll be the first to admit it. And with the return of some key teammates, especially Tyler Herro, I lost a few minutes. But overall, I'm happy." Italian forward confirmed his intent to re-sign with the Heat if the team is interested to do so: "I'd love to, but we all know how the business works here, and nothing is really a given. For the first time, however, I'll be an unrestricted free agent, so I too can choose my own future. I'd love to stay here." "I wouldn't want to move my family again because we're great in Miami, and just as importantly, I feel really comfortable with everyone here, from the owners to the coaching staff, and especially in this locker room, which is special because of the group it's created. I'll talk to the club at the end of the season, but my hope is to stay here," he concluded.
