Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro Out Tonight Vs Bulls But Expected To Return Next Week
The Miami Heat are once again without stars Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo tonight against the Chicago Bulls, but there is good news.
Both players could return early as next week. Herro, who was the Heat's leading scorer, is dealing with a sprained ankle that interrupted his bid to make a case as an All-Star. Adebayo remains out with a bruised hip that is slowing his chances of winning Defensive Player of the Year.
The Heat are looking to avenge Thursday's loss to the Bulls. They trailed by many as 25 points before making a late rally.
Here's the rest of the injury report:
