Miami Heat Injury Report: Latest on Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro’s status for game against Pacers (Feb. 28)

The Miami Heat will host the Indiana Pacers on Friday night at the Kaseya Center. A win for Miami could help them climb up a spot in the standings. However, the task won’t come easy, as a lengthy injury report — featuring Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins — adds to the challenge for the Florida squad.

Bam Adebayo is the most significant Heat player to appear on the injury report, with the team listing him as “questionable” for tonight’s matchup due to a right calf contusion. His status will be determined closer to tip-off, but it’s worth mentioning that the 27-year-old has suited up for all four games since the All-Star break. During this stretch, the former Kentucky Wildcat has averaged 19.3 points and 8.3 rebounds while logging nearly 36 minutes per game.

Wiggins joins Adebayo as the only other player listed as “questionable” due to a right ankle sprain. The injury appears to be recent, as there were no prior indications of it affecting his performance — evident from his average of nearly 37 minutes of playing time over the past four games.

While both players will be game-time decisions, their availability will ultimately be determined by the Miami Heat coaching staff closer to tip-off. However, a few players have already been ruled out for the matchup.

Nikola Jovic and Dru Smith (out for the season) will be sidelined with a broken hand and a torn Achilles, respectively.

There is some positive news for Miami fans, though, as Tyler Herro will be available.

Going up against the in-form Indiana Pacers with a shorthanded squad presents a significant challenge for Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat, as they aim for their 28th victory of the season.
