Miami Heat Faces Dallas Mavericks With Only 10 Players Available

The Miami Heat are facing significant challenges ahead of their game against the Dallas Mavericks, with key players sidelined due to illness and injury. Center Bam Adebayo has been ruled out with knee soreness, marking the last game for the Heat before the NBA All-Star break. Additionally, newly-acquired Andrew Wiggins has joined the illness list affecting several team members, including Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. This stomach bug has circulated through the locker room, leading to a reduced roster for the Heat. With only 10 players available, the team aims to improve their record, currently two games below .500. The Mavericks will also be missing key players, setting the stage for a competitive matchup despite the absences on both sides.
