The injury but continued when forward Jimmy Butler sprained an ankle in Friday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. Here's what the players had to say about injuries happening so frequently: 

Lowry: "Let's get our injuries out of the way now. "Then come March, April, May, June, we're all healthy." \

Bam Adebayo: "It's just more like a thought in your mind, like, `What if? I wouldn't say frustration. It's frustrating that we lost that way but can't help if a guy gets injured. You can't help what goes on in between those lines. We try to get physical. Every once in a while a dude is going to get bumps and bruises. Now we just worry about his bounce back and moving forward." 

Tyler Herro: "It is what it is. It's our season so far, guys in and out. Some guys get hurt. It's part of the game. We'll get guys back hopefully."
