CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Fire destroyed Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra's home early Thursday, with officials saying more than 20 units were dispatched in what became a frantic, futile effort to save the property.

Nobody was in the home when the fire broke out, and no injuries were reported. Spoelstra plans to coach Miami's next game, a home matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, the team said.

"We are grateful to learn that nobody was harmed in the fire at coach Spoelstra's residence this morning," the Heat said in a release. "Our thoughts, prayers and assistance are with Spo and his family during this time."

An investigation into what caused the fire was underway, officials said. Those probes can take weeks in some cases.
