Neighbors told WSVN-TV the home was undergoing renovations before it caught fire.
Officials have not yet said what may have caused the inferno. Firefighters battled the blaze well into the morning, but officials said the blaze was contained.
Property records show Spoelstra bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in December 2023. He agreed to a $120 million contract extension with the Heat in January 2024.
