The Miami Heat have won seven of their last nine games and are playing their best basketball of the season. However, lost in the shuffle during that stretch in the Heat’s rotation is Wayne Ellington.
Ellington isn’t hurt and isn’t being disciplined; he simply isn’t being played. During the nine game stretch for the Heat, Ellington has appeared just three of the games, however he was only on the floor for fourteen total minutes. In the Heat’s latest game against the Cavaliers on the road, Ellington didn’t log a single minute despite the team’s 25-point win and Dwyane Wade missing the game due to an illness.
