The Miami Heat (2-2) and Washington Wizards (2-2) traveled to Mexico City to face off in a Saturday evening clash.

Here’s the full injury for Saturday night:

Here's what Heat fan favorite Goran Dragic, who will be in attendance, had to say about the greatest difficulty of playing in Mexico.

"Altitude," Dragic began. "I can tell you right now I don't remember the altitude, but I think it's way higher than Denver too. I remember when I was here with the Heat, Spo would sub us out like every two minutes because it was so hard. Everybody was breathing hard, you couldn't run anymore, and then you needed some time to break. That was probably the hardest thing."

Tip-off is at 9:30 PM ET.
