The Miami Heat were bogged down with injuries throughout last season, and the most important players on the roster are known to miss extensive time with injuries over the course of their careers.
Justise Winslow has played just 134 games over the last two seasons, and played 18 games three years ago. Goran Dragic has been durable over his career, but he played only 36 games last season and is 33 years old. Jimmy Butler can get you about 65 games a year, but that’s about it. He just turned 30.
Injuries to any of these three could be catastrophic to the Miami Heat, and not just because of the obvious loss of talent at the top of the roster that comes from losing one of the best players in your rotation.
