It wasn’t a foregone conclusion that P.J. Tucker would participate in the Miami Heat’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Tucker is dealing with a calf injury and was questionable leading up to the game. The Heat’s official Twitter account confirmed that the veteran forward is available for Sunday night’s contest; however, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, Markieff Morris, and KZ Okpala are out.
#LALvsMIA INJURY UPDATE: P.J. Tucker (calf) will be active for tonight's game vs the Lakers.
Kyle Lowry (personal reasons), Tyler Herro (health and safety protocols), Markieff Morris (return to competition reconditioning) & KZ Okpala (wrist) have all been ruled out.
