Miami Heat Without Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell Against Cavaliers

As the Miami Heat prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, they face significant challenges due to roster injuries. Leading scorer Tyler Herro is out with a head cold, joining fellow teammates Nikola Jovic, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Kel'el Ware on the sidelines. Despite these setbacks, Bam Adebayo achieved a notable milestone by breaking Rony Seikaly's franchise record for double-doubles, a feat he celebrated after a strong performance against the Wizards. On the Cavaliers' side, they will also be missing Evan Mobley, who is resting strategically as they gear up for the playoffs, while maintaining a significant lead in the conference standings. Head coach Kenny Atkinson emphasized the importance of balancing player readiness and rest as the regular season winds down. Both teams will need to rely on their depth and adaptability to secure crucial wins in the playoff race.
