Heat's Depth Tested: Key Players Out vs. Bulls
21 Nov
Summary
- Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic are out for Friday's game.
- Wiggins has a hip flexor strain, Jovic a hip injury.
- Tyler Herro targets Monday return from ankle surgery.
The Miami Heat are set to face the Chicago Bulls in NBA Cup action on Friday. Despite the recent return of Bam Adebayo, the team faces a setback with the absence of Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic, who did not travel with the team.
Wiggins is sidelined with a left hip flexor strain, marking his first missed game this season. Jovic is also out due to a hip injury, having missed the previous game against the Warriors. These absences strain Miami's wing depth and impact their rotation options.
In positive news, Tyler Herro is progressing well from his September ankle surgery and is targeting a return for Monday's game against the Mavericks. The Heat will rely on players like Jaime Jaquez and Simone Fontecchio in the interim.
