New Orleans Pelicans vs Miami Heat injury report
New Orleans Pelicans injury report for March 22
The Pelicans have listed two players on their injury report: Brandon Ingram (knee) is a game-time decision and Dyson Daniels (knee) is out.
What happened to Brandon Ingram?
Brandon Ingram's availability remains uncertain as the Pelicans prepare to take on Miami. He encountered a setback during the early stages of the third quarter, succumbing to a knee injury that required assistance from his teammates to exit the court.
Ingram's left knee experienced hyperextension as he tried to impede Magic guard Jalen Suggs' drive to the hoop, causing him to collapse in discomfort.
The extent of Ingram's injury initially prompted ambiguity, ultimately leading to the prudent choice to sideline him.
Miami Heat injury report for March 22
The Heat have listed five players on their injury report: Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable, while Duncan Robinson (back), Tyler Herro (foot), Kevin Love (heel) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) are out.
What happened to Bam Adebayo?
Bam Adebayo sustained a lower back contusion during last Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets, enduring discomfort and swelling leading up to the team's game versus Cleveland.
Consequently, he remains listed on Miami's injury report. In the event of Adebayo's absence, Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith emerge as potential candidates to log extended playing time.
