Erik Spoelstra has been faced with difficult rotation decisions throughout the season.
Whether it was working Dion Waiters back from a year-long absence following ankle surgery or trying to find Wayne Ellington minutes before he was traded last month, Spoelstra’s job has not been easy with a roster that’s full of rotation-level players.
Waiters didn’t make it easier when he was fined for publicly venting about his lack of playing time before eventually becoming part of the Heat’s starting lineup. Ellington’s agent had conversations with Heat officials regarding his limited role and his future with the team during his string of DNPs.
