Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic Injury Report: Jimmy Butler Sidelined

The Miami Heat (15-12) are hoping to redeem their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday evening against the Orlando Magic (16-9).

Miami held their own against Minnesota but fell short 112-108 on Monday. On the other hand, Orlando is coming off back-to-back defeats against Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics.

Here's the injury report:

Jimmy Butler: Out - Left Calf Strain

Jamal Cain: Probable - G League - Two-Way

R.J. Hampton: Questionable - G League - Two-Way

Nikola Jovic: Probable - G League - On Assignment

Kevin Love: Questionable - Stomach Illness

Kevon Harris: Out - Coach's Decision

Jett Howard: Out - G League - On Assignment

Butler had a mediocre showing in Monday's defeat. It is up to Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo to lead Miami to victory. The star duo returned from injury against the Wolves.

Love acts as a veteran leader for the team. In recent matchups, he has been contributing at a high level from three-point range. His top performance came against the Chicago Bulls, where he recorded 22 points and seven rebounds on 60 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

With forward Haywood Highsmith and guard Kyle Lowry off the report, the Heat regain multiple key contributors.
