The Miami Heat (24-19) are seeking a victory in the midst of a rough patch against the Memphis Grizzlies (16-27) on Wednesday evening.

Miami is on a three-game losing streak, with their latest coming at the hands of Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies claimed an eight-point win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday.

Here's the injury report:

HEAT

Haywood Highsmith: Probable - Left Foot Sprain

Jaime Jaquez Jr.: Doubtful - Left Groin Strain

Terry Rozier: Questionable - Trade Pending

Dru Smith: Out - Right Knee Surgery

GRIZZLIES

Steven Adams: Out - Right Knee PCL Surgery

Santi Aldama: Out - Right Knee Soreness

Desmond Bane: Out - Left Ankle Sprain

Brandon Clarke: Out - Left Achilles Tendon Repair

Jake LaRavia: Out - Left Ankle Sprain

Ja Morant: Out - Right Shoulder Labral Repair

The Heat are accustomed to playing through a multitude of injuries, but the roster is nearing full strength. With Highsmith listed as probable, Jaquez is the lone player who is likely not ready to return. Rozier will likely make his debut in a Heat uniform on Thursday against the Boston Celtics.

Memphis arguably has the highest number of significant injuries in the NBA. Morant, Bane, Adams, and Clarke play significant minutes.

The Grizzlies plethora of absences provides the Heat with an opportunity to get back on track.
