Memphis Grizzlies vs Miami Heat Shocking Injury Report Revealed /

The Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat face off tonight in a game that may win the award for most players listed on an injury report. It's a list so thick that it could take two pages to write down.

The Miami Heat have a shocking 13 players listed on their injury report: Bam Adebayo, Thomas Bryant, Jimmy Butler, Jamal Cain, R.J. Hampton, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, Kevin Love, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson, Dru Smith, and Cole Swider. 

Bam Adebayo is available despite a left hip contusion, Thomas Bryant is available despite lower back spasms, Jimmy Butler is probable with right knee tendinitis, Jamal Cain is out with a stomach illness, R.J. Hampton is out on a G League two-way, Haywood Highsmith is available despite a left knee sprain, Jaime Jaquez Jr. is available despite a right calf strain, Nikola Jovic is out with a non-covid illness, Kevin Love is available despite a left shoulder contusion, Caleb Martin is out with left knee tendinosis, Duncan Robinson is available despite a right wrist sprain, Dru Smith is available despite a right AC joint sprain, and Cole Swider is out due to a G League two-way.

The Memphis Grizzlies have an astounding 9 players listed on their injury report as well: Steven Adams, Brandon Clarke, GG Jackson, John Konchar, Jake LaRavia, Ja Morant, Derrick Rose, Xavier Tillman, and Vince Williams Jr.

Steven Adams is out due to a right knee PCL strain, Brandon Clarke is out due to left Achilles tendon repair, GG Jackson is out due to a G League assignment, Ja Morant is out due to a league suspension, Derrick Rose is out due to left knee injury recovery, Xavier Tillman is out due to left knee soreness, and Vince Williams Jr. is out due to a G League two-way.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat face off at 8:00 p.m. EST tonight.
