Injury Report: Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Butler Out as Thunder and Heat Prepare for Meeting

The Thunder and Heat will face off in Oklahoma City but both teams will be without key pieces.

After a five game road stint Oklahoma City returns to the Paycom Center to battle a short handed Miami team.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will lead the Thunder into the game following a game where he tied his career high.

Oklahoma City enters on the heels of a short losing spell, and is relatively healthy.

The only new injury comes to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl who will miss Wednesday’s game.

Kenrich Williams will also miss another game for OKC with a knee sprain.

A host of key Thunder players have missed key games this season including Tre Mann, Aleksej Pokusevski, Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey.
