Jazz-Heat Injury Report: Butler, Lowry, Jaquez Jr. Status Revealed
After being in a constant battle with the injury bug to start their 2023-24 NBA campaign, the Utah Jazz enter Saturday night’s matchup against the Miami Heat as healthy as ever. For one of the few times this season, Utah has no names listed on their injury report, rolling into the new year with a fully healthy roster.
Both teams revealed their injury designations before the matchup. While the Jazz are looking healthy and ready to go, the Heat, on the other hand, have a few of their names in question:
Utah Jazz:
NONE
Miami Heat:
Duncan Robinson- PROBABLE (ankle)
Jimmy Butler- QUESTIONABLE (calf)
Kyle Lowry- QUESTIONABLE (soreness)
Jaime Jaquez Jr.- QUESTIONABLE (illness)
Josh Richardson- QUESTIONABLE (back)
Caleb Martin- DOUBTFUL (ankle)
Dru Smith- OUT
For the Heat, they may be a bit banged up on their road trip to Salt Lake City. Most notably, Jimmy Butler is questionable against the Jazz with a calf injury. He ended up sidelined for Miami’s Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia 76ers, in which they came out with a 119-113 win.
Alongside Butler, Kyle Lowry, Jaime Jaquez, and Josh Richardson are also all questionable ahead of tonight’s matchup. All three of these guys (most recently Jaquez) have been key contributors to Miami’s success this season, so having one or multiple out of the lineup would be a substantial loss for Eric Spoelstra.
The Jazz and Heat will tip off at the Delta Center for an early-day weekend matchup at 3 PM MT.
