The Miami Heat are currently going through their toughest stretch this season so far. The issues aren’t schedule-related, but it’s injuries that are giving Miami some problems.
Bam Adebayo is currently appearing to be out for four to six weeks after surgery on a torn UCL. While he’s out for the thumb injury, Markieff Morris is still recovering from the cheap shot from Nikola Jokic, as he will miss his 13th straight game.
Jimmy Butler will also sit out of the current road trip to Indiana and Milwaukee with a tailbone contusion. None will travel with the team for the upcoming road trip.
The Heat did get Tyler Herro back and they’ll need him more than ever. Their current road trip is a back to back, starting off with Indiana.
Miami lost their first meeting to the Pacers in Indiana. With a poor effort, they wound up losing, 102-91, in overtime without Kyle Lowry.
Now, they have Kyle Lowry but are missing their two star players. While it may seem like a definite defeat, which is understandable, the Pacers, at times, tend to play down to their opponents.
Here’s how and why the Heat can get a win there.
