Finger Surgery Sidelines Miami Heat's Duncan Robinson For At Least A Month

Robinson adds to the long list of injured Heat players this season

Add forward Duncan Robinson to the long list of Miami Heat players who will miss extended time this season. 

Robinson underwent successful finger surgery Wednesday and will miss at least one month. 

“We’ll be able to manage it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We’ve been doing it all year. Even throughout this time when we’ve been playing better, more consistent, we’ve had to deal with it. So the excuses are thrown out that door or any other door.”

INJURY UPDATE: Duncan Robinson underwent successful surgery today to repair a ligament of the second finger in his right hand. He will begin rehab next week and be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.

Robinson recently because the Heat's career leader for 3-pointers made, surpassing Tim Hardaway. Robinson, who also holds the Heat's single-season 3-point record, had fallen out of the rotation earlier this season before making his way back. 

His absence should create more minutes for Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo. The Heat are also without Nikola Jovic, who is sidelined for a month because of back problems.
