The Miami Heat may not be producing like they’ve been known for in the past, but their troll game is undefeated.
Earlier Friday the NBA issued a $25,000 fine to the Heat for ‘failing to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players’ before a 110-108 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
The league statement read: ‘The NBA today announced the Miami Heat has been fined $25,000 for violating league injury reporting rules.
One would imagine Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra was on the 16th player injury report
‘The Heat failed to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players prior to its game vs. Oklahoma City on Dec. 14 at Paycom Center.’
So, in response the Heat made sure to be extra careful ahead of their game vs. San Antonio tomorrow.
Miami named its entire active roster – a measly 16 players – on their latest injury report.
Tyler Herro was the star man for Miami in its most recent win, a 111-108 triumph over Houston
There were varying degrees of probability applied to the players ahead of their road game in Mexico City.
Jimmy Butler, who missed Wednesday’s win, is listed as probable, so is star guard Tyler Herro, while Kyle Lowry – among others – is questionable.
The Spurs-Heat game will be the first of two international NBA games to be played this season, and the 12th of its kind in Mexico.
Jimmy Butler was listed as probable on the Heat’s extensive injury report ahead of Saturday
December 2019 was the last time Mexico City fans witnessed an NBA game. Dallas took care of the Detroit Pistons two days prior to San Antonio defeating Phoenix on the 14th.
Miami has struggled to recapture their impressive form of last season, and currently sits 8th in the Eastern Conference with a .500 record of 15-15.
Although signs are positive, despite the latest injury report, with the Heat having won three in a row.
