BOSTON -- Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent will not play in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics on Thursday night because of a sprained left ankle.
"It's really unfortunate," Vincent said after Thursday's shootaround. "I'm a competitor. I love to compete with my guys, it's definitely the highest stakes, so I'll be here supporting them, watching them do their thing tonight."
Vincent, who is averaging 17.5 points during the Eastern Conference finals, originally injured the ankle during the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's Game 4 loss after going up for a jumper and landing awkwardly.
