Knicks vs Heat injury report: Lineup for Game 3 Eastern Conference Semi-finals (May 6, 2023)

The injury report for the upcoming matchup of the Knicks vs Heat series has many great players. The Miami Heat have dealt with numerous injuries this postseason and will be without a few of their key players.

The New York Knicks, on the other hand, are almost 100% healthy. Julius Randle, who missed Game 1 of the series, has returned and will suit up in the third game.

The series is tied and the next two games could also be split. Not only does the injury report favor the Knicks, but they are also one of the toughest teams in the league on the road.
