The Miami Heat may not be producing like they used to be known for, but their troll game is unbeatable.
On Friday, the NBA issued a $25,000 fine to the Heat for ‘failing to disclose accurate game availability status for certain players’ before Wednesday’s 110-108 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
A league statement read: ‘The NBA announced today that the Miami Heat have been fined $25,000 for violating the league’s injury reporting rules.
One Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra can think of is on the 16-player injury report
‘The Heat failed to disclose an accurate game availability status for several players prior to its game against Oklahoma City on Dec. 14 at Paycom Center.’
So, in response, the Heat made sure to be extra cautious ahead of their matchup with San Antonio tomorrow.
Miami named its entire active roster – a paltry 16 players – on their latest injury report.
Tyler Herro was the star man for Miami in its most recent win, a 111-108 victory over Houston
There are varying degrees of odds applied to players ahead of their road game in Mexico City.
Jimmy Butler, who missed Wednesday’s win, is listed as probable, as is star guard Tyler Herro, while Kyle Lowry – among others – is questionable.
The Spurs-Heat game will be the first of two international NBA games to be played this season, and the 12th of its kind in Mexico.
Jimmy Butler was listed as probable on the Heat’s extensive injury report before Saturday
December 2019 was the last time Mexico City fans witnessed an NBA game. Dallas took care of the Detroit Pistons two days before San Antonio beat Phoenix on the 14th.
Miami has struggled to regain their impressive form from last season, and currently sits 8th in the Eastern Conference with a .500 record of 15-15.
While the signs are positive, despite the latest injury report, the Heat have won three straight.
