Heat vs. Nuggets Updated Game 1 Injury Report

The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets are finally set to begin the NBA Finals. Denver has been waiting for a while to find out their opponent, as the Heat lost three-straight games to the Boston Celtics after leading the Eastern Conference Finals 3-0. Closing out Boston in Game 7, Miami clinched their date with Denver, which will begin on Thursday night.

Both teams have released their injury reports for this game, and there are not any surprises on either side. For Denver, their injury report is completely clean, which has been the case for most of this playoff run. For Miami, their only injury absences are Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo, as Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent, and Cody Zeller are all listed as available.

It was announced by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Herro could make his return from injury as early as Game 2 of this series, with Game 3 being a strong possibility as well. His return would give the Heat another weapon offensively, which projects to be significant in a series against this dominant Nuggets team.

This is a fascinating Finals matchup, and one very few people saw coming. While the Nuggets making it this far is no surprise, as they were dominant all season, Miami's run truly came out of nowhere.

Game 1 of the Finals will begin on Thursday night at 5:30 PM PST.
