The Miami Heat are having to find a way to survive right now. Being down a ton of guys in the Health and Safety Protocols scenario, they are also experiencing quite the bit of regular injury on their behalf as well.

With Bam Adebayo still out after thumb surgery, with P.J. Tucker missing time recently with a leg injury, with Dewayne Dedmon being down for some time with a recent knee situation, and with Markieff Morris not playing since last year sometime, that’s a ton to contend with, in itself.

Well, then there’s your best player. Jimmy Butler, who has already missed time this season with ankle injuries and a tailbone scenario that kept him out about three weeks, is now down again after badly twisting an ankle in the Miami Heat’s last game.

Not only did they lose that tough game to the best team in the league, the Golden State Warriors, but they lost their superstar in the process. Talk about not being able to catch a break.
