Heat vs. Wizards Injury Report: Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic Probable
The Miami Heat (40-33) are taking the court against the Washington Wizards (14-60) on Sunday evening in hopes of furthering their chances of leaping out of the Play-In Tournament.
The Heat are coming off a 60-point win against the Portland Trail Blazers, which marked the largest margin of victory in franchise history. Meanwhile, the Wizards have lost two consecutive games against the Brooklyn Nets and Detroit Pistons.
Here's the injury report:
HEAT
Tyler Herro: Out - Right Foot Medial Tendinitis
Jaime Jaquez Jr.: Available - Left Ankle Discomfort
Nikola Jovic: Probable - Right Knee Contusion
Kevin Love: Available - Right Heel Bruise
Caleb Martin: Out - Right Ankle Discomfort
Josh Richardson: Out - Right Shoulder Surgery
Duncan Robinson: Probable - Left Facet Syndrome
Orlando Robinson: Questionable - G League - On Assignment
Cole Swider: Questionable - G League - Two-Way
Alondes Williams: Questionable - G League - Two-Way
WIZARDS
Bilal Coulibaly: Out - Right Wrist Fracture
Richaun Holmes: Questionable - Left Toe Contusion
Tyus Jones: Out - Back Lumbosacral Sprain
Kyle Kuzma: Questionable - Right Heel Contusion
Isaiah Livers: Out - Right Hip Joint Capsule Inflammation
Eugene Omoruyi: Out - Left Ankle Sprain
Landry Shamet: Out - Left Calf Strain
This game potentially marks Robinson's return after missing their last five games. Meanwhile, Jovic suffered his knee contusion in Friday's game against the Blazers, which appears unserious. Martin's absence should not come as a surprise, as he was held to nine minutes of action against the Blazers.
