The Miami Heat are 11-26, falling to 13th in the Eastern Conference. Justise Winslow has just been ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery for a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The team can’t stay healthy, trade rumors are swirling and there’s no noticeable plan of how to rebuild this proud team.
Things are not looking good.
Yes, their failing record has a lot to do with the fact that they have fallen victim to injury after injury. From Winslow initially dealing with a wrist injury that kept him out 16 games, to Dion Waiters missing 19 contests from tearing a muscle in his groin, to Josh McRoberts being ruled out indefinitely after fracturing his foot and now Hassan Whiteside unable to play due to a retinal contusion… health has been a big concern for the Heat.
