Heat backup center Willie Reed out again vs. 76ers on Wednesday

The Miami Heat will be without backup center Willie Reed again when it hosts Philadelphia Wednesday night.

“He was doing some light work on the bike upstairs, but he’s not ready for the court yet,” coach Erik Spoelstra said after shootaround Wednesday morning.

Reed went down in a heap with bursitis in his right ankle and had to be wheeled off the court on a stretcher last Saturday night, but his injury is far from serious.

He walked through the arena Wednesday in front of reporters without crutches, a brace or any visible limp.

The Heat (27-33) did miss him though in Monday’s loss at Dallas.
