"Stretching back to the preseason, the Miami Heat have been decimated by injuries. However, now that Tyler Herro and Kaspars Jakucionis are traveling with the team, they're one step closer to being at full strength. Both Herro and Jakucionis will be with the team as they take on the San Antonio Spurs Thursday night. While they won't be in uniform, it's certainly a good sign and suggests they may be inching closer toward their returns to the team."
"You'd imagine that Jakucionis is probably slightly closer to a return than Herro is, but there's a growing hope that both will be back sooner than later. The original timeline for Herro puts him roughly two and a half weeks out from a potential return. Jakucionis was not necessarily given a timeline, but has already been out for a few weeks as he continues to recover from a groin strain that he suffered during the preseason."
"Aside from the injuries to Herro and Jakucionis, Norman Powell is also set to miss a second-straight game due to a groin injury. Even though he doesn't expect to miss much time with the injury, the Heat are treading water in terms of depth at this point. With Herro and Jakucionis already out, and with Terry Rozier not with the team anymore, and the Heat down a roster spot, Miami is just trying to survive at this point."
Miami Heat have been decimated by injuries since the preseason, leaving the roster thin. Tyler Herro and Kaspars Jakucionis are traveling with the team for the game against the San Antonio Spurs but will not be in uniform. Herro's timeline projects roughly two and a half weeks until a potential return; Jakucionis has no set timeline but has been sidelined for weeks with a preseason groin strain and may be slightly closer. Norman Powell will miss a second straight game with a groin issue. Terry Rozier is no longer with the team and the Heat are down a roster spot. Nikola Jovic has been upgraded to probable despite battling a hip injury.
