Heat Injury Woes vs. Pistons Showdown
29 Nov
Summary
- Miami Heat list 10 players on injury report for Pistons game.
- Tyler Herro available despite ankle surgery; Powell also likely to play.
- Jaime Jaquez Jr. questionable with groin strain, a game-time decision.
The Miami Heat are preparing to host the Detroit Pistons in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup, but a lengthy injury report clouds their outlook. Ten players are listed, including key figures like Tyler Herro and Norman Powell. Herro, recently back from ankle surgery, is available and has shown strong performance in his return games, while Powell is probable despite a groin issue.
Adding to the uncertainty, Jaime Jaquez Jr. is questionable with a groin strain, potentially limiting his minutes or causing him to miss the game entirely, with his status being a game-time decision. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic is set to return for the Pistons after a five-game absence due to a hip impingement. Several Heat players, including Myron Gardner and Jahmir Young, are being sent to the G League.
The game is scheduled for Saturday at 8:00 p.m. ET and will be televised locally and available via NBA League Pass. Despite the injury concerns, the Heat enter the contest as three-point favorites, bolstered by a six-game winning streak and home-court advantage. The Pistons, conversely, are looking to rebound after recent losses.
