The Miami Heat kick off a back-to-back on Tuesday night against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

The Heat are 1-1 this NBA preseason with a two-point victory against the New Orleans Pelicans while the Spurs are on a two-game win streak over the Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz.

Although Wembanyama rested against the Jazz, he is expected to appear against the Heat, according to reporter Dusty Garza.

Here's the full injury report for Heat vs. Spurs:

HEAT

Alec Burks - Day-To-Day, Rest

Josh Richardson - Day-To-Day, Shoulder

SPURS

Devin Vassell - Out, Foot

Wembanyama - Day-To-Day, Rest

Malaki Branham - Day-To-Day, Undisclosed

Charles Bassey - Day-To-Day, Knee

David Duke Jr. - Day-To-Day, Undisclosed

It appears the Heat's starting lineup has another opportunity to grow their chemistry, which coach Erik Spoelstra is glad to see. Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, and Bam Adebayo are expected to make up the starting five.

"The group was really encouraging. That's they way they looked in training camp in the Bahamas. The group has gone at it with the right mindset," Spoelstra said after their last preseason game. "They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They have to work on our system and play to each other's strengths."
