Injury Report for Miami Heat vs. Toronto Raptors: Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo Out.

The Miami Heat’s injury report for their Wednesday game against the Toronto Raptors

On Wednesday night in Toronto, the Miami Heat (11-9) and Toronto Raptors (9-11) square off.

The Heat are coming off a depressing Saturday loss to the Indiana Pacers by a score of 15 points. However, the Raptors were defeated by the New York Knicks on Friday, 119-106.

J.J. Hampton: Out with a sprained right knee

Tyler Herro: Disabled – Sprained right ankle

Haywood Highsmith: Not Available – Lower Back Strain

Caleb Martin: Availability – Contusion in Left Shoulder

Dru Smith: Out: Third-degree sprain of the right ACL

G League – Cole Swider: Out – Two-Way

Herro’s injury recovery is probably almost complete, which is essential to their success. He may be the Heat’s best scorer. With him back in the starting lineup, Adebayo will be able to concentrate on playing defense.

Given that Adebayo’s hip injury has kept him out of action on several occasions, it is concerning going forward. In their second meeting, Miami’s defense, led by the All-Star big man, allowed Indiana to score 144 points.

The Raptors can defeat the injured Heat team if there are no serious injuries.
