Victor Oladipo Not Expected To Suit Up Versus Milwaukee

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is unlikely to suit up on Saturday in Milwaukee. The veteran is trending toward his second consecutive absence, which would be bad news for a team that won't have Kyle Lowry (ankle). With Gabe Vincent (ankle) questionable, Tyler Herro may be the primary ball-handler. At the same time, Max […]

Kyle Lowry Out On Saturday With A Sore Ankle

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has a sore left ankle, so Gabe Vincent (ankle) may take his spot in the lineup. He has played well in his five starts this season, averaging 18.0 points and 2.2 steals. However, Vincent is questionable, so if he […]

Bam Adebayo Scores 32 Points In Losing Effort

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo enjoyed a great scoring night despite not being able to grab the win over the New York Knicks on Thursday night.

Victor Oladipo Downgraded To Doubtful Thursday

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is now doubtful to play Thursday against the New York Knicks. Oladipo tweaked his ankle on Tuesday and will likely miss at least one game with the injury. The silver lining is Oladipo is not dealing with any knee injury given his injury history. With Oladipo likely sitting, Gabe […]

Gabe Vincent Available To Play On Tuesday

Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is available to play Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Vincent has been listed as questionable with an ankle injury the past few games, but it has been reported there were no doubts of his status for Tuesday. Vincent should resume his normal role off the bench behind Kyle […]

Jimmy Butler Is Available For Tuesday Versus Cleveland

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (quad) is now listed as available on the injury report despite the right quadriceps contusion that he's dealing with. He was able to play north of 32 minutes in each of the last two games, so this contusion doesn't seem too serious at the moment. With Butler still in the […]
