Miami Heat guards Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson are expected to undergo evaluation today for the injuries they sustained in Sunday's loss to the Boston Celtics

Both players will have MRIs for leg (Rozier) and elbow (Richardson). 

"More than anything, you just feel for those guys," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "They're competitors, they want to be out there. They're trending in a much better direction. "Josh was just starting getting healthy and really starting to get his legs under him and really starting to make an impact on both ends of the floor. Terry was getting a lot more comfortable." 

Richardson left in the second quarter after trying to steal the ball from Celtics forward Jayson Tatum. Rozier exited in the third quarter. 

"I felt my shoulder pop out on the floor and then it popped back in laying on the ground, so thank goodness for that," Richardson said. "I'll know more tomorrow."

The Heat are already without forward Jimmy Butler, who missed Sunday's game because of a personal matter. 

"It's tough to see guys like that go down," Heat forward Duncan Robinson said. "And then Jimmy dealing with what he's dealing with is unfortunate, to put it lightly."
