Needless to say, the Heat are in need of more bodies. They are missing seven players — most of them defensive-minded — in Jimmy Butler (tailbone), P.J. Tucker (leg), Bam Adebayo (torn UCL), Caleb Martin (health and safety protocols), Tyler Herro (quad), Markieff Morris (neck) and Victor Oladipo, who has yet to play this season after recovering from right quadriceps surgery.
