Miami Heat Face Injury Woes Ahead of Showdown with Golden State Warriors

The Miami Heat are dealing with a slew of injuries as they gear up to take on the Golden State Warriors in a crucial matchup. The Heat will be missing key players such as Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Josh Richardson for the game.

Herro is sidelined with right foot medial tendinitis, while Robinson is nursing a left facet syndrome. Jaime Jaquez Jr, who has been out with a left ankle issue, has been upgraded to questionable for the game, along with Kevin Love and Caleb Martin.

All-Star center Bam Adebayo is expected to play through a lower back contusion, but All-NBA swingman Jimmy Butler’s availability is uncertain due to a non-COVID-19 head illness.

The Warriors, on the other hand, have only one player listed on their injury report – Trayce Jackson-Davis, who is questionable with a sore left knee.

In their previous meeting this season, Miami emerged victorious with a 114-102 win over Golden State. However, with their current injury woes, the Heat face an uphill battle against the Warriors.

The game is scheduled to tip off at 4:30 p.m. PT/7:30 p.m. ET at the Kaseya Center in Miami, with coverage on Bally Sports Sun and Sports Bay Area.
