The Miami Heat are pretty beat up right now and that includes multiple fronts. While they are starting to slowly see guys trickle back in from the Health and Safety Protocols tidal wave they experience over the last week or so, they still have some guys done with regular old NBA seasonal injuries.
With Dewayne Dedmon going down some time ago, Omer Yurtseven has stepped up in a major way to help fill that void.
That’s especially with Bam Adebayo being out still and P.J. Tucker just returning from a leg injury, while Markieff Morris hasn’t played in a long time now.
The Miami Heat have needed all they could get from the guys that have suited up and that won’t quit any time soon. The biggest reason for that lies in the fact that Jimmy Butler tweaked his ankle again and likely won’t see the court again for a few games.
Needing more guys to step up in the absences of all the guys they have been without and will continue to be without for the foreseeable future, they have gotten production from the darndest places.
