Orlando Magic vs. Miami Heat injury report: Tyler Herro is expected to return to the starting lineup.
Tuesday night at the Kaseya Centre, the Miami Heat (26-24) take on the Orlando Magic (27-23) in a matchup.
The Heat have defeated the Los Angeles Clippers by eight points in their most recent game, having won two of their previous three meetings. They are one seed behind the Magic in the Eastern Conference standings, having won their last three games.
Robinson and Herro were mostly absent from the Clippers game. The Heat restricted LA’s all-star offence to their lowest point total since November 12 while scoring fewer than 100 points.
With just 8 of 30 three-pointers made against the Clippers, the Heat’s spacing was unimpressive. The possibility of the guard duo blocking an outside shot still exists, even if they are not very effective that evening. Jimmy Butler, a forward, is similarly freed from the pressure to score frequently and is instead able to score in spurts.
The Magic have a fully healthy roster, so the Heat are up against another audacious task at home.
For Erik Spoelstra’s team, it has been an unexpected reality during an injury-plagued season.
However, the Heat announced on Tuesday afternoon that Robinson and Tyler Herro would be available for Tuesday night’s game at Kaseya Centre against the Orlando Magic.
After the Heat’s Tuesday morning shootaround in an attempt to find their footing, guard Josh Richardson stated, “We just want to use these next few games before the All-Star break to kind of get going and kick start what we want to do.” Richardson acknowledged that the season is lengthy and that the process will take time.
The Heat’s only other game this season in which all ten of their starting players were available was their Madison Square Garden matchup with the New York Knicks on January 27. Even yet, the Heat were left with a loss after Robinson collided with his head on the court and was subsequently added to the NBA’s concussion protocol.
After missing three games, Robinson was released from that procedure on Tuesday. Herro was also upgraded to availability after suffering a migraine that prevented him from playing in Sunday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
That gives Spoelstra the option to select from ten players who are regarded as members of the Heat’s rotation. In addition to the most recent additions, Terry Rozier, Herro, Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith, and Bam Adebayo, ther is a second five of Kevin Love, Caleb Martin, Jaime Jaquez Jr.., Richardson and Robinson.
