Miami Heat vs. Golden State Warriors Injury Report: Plethora Of Heat Contributors Status In Question

Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, and Caleb Martin are among those on the injury report for Thursday’s game

The Miami Heat (18-12) are hoping to extend their winning streak on Thursday evening against the Golden State Warriors (15-15).

Miami has won three consecutive contests, with their latest coming against the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Day. The Warriors have won five of their last six games. However, they were defeated by the Denver Nuggets on Monday.

Here’s the injury report:

HEAT

Jimmy Butler: Questionable – Left Calf Strain

Kyle Lowry: Questionable – Soreness

Caleb Martin: Doubtful – Right Ankle Sprain

Josh Richardson: Doubtful – Low Back Discomfort

Duncan Robinson: Questionable – Left Ankle Sprain

Dru Smith: Out – Right Acl 3rd Degree Sprain

WARRIORS

Draymond Green: Out – League Suspension

Gary Payton II: Out – Right Calf Strain

The Heat could be in for a rude awakening if the majority of contributors are ruled out. Butler has missed their last three matchups, where Miami has a 3-0 record. The potential absences of Lowry, Richardson, and Robinson are crucial. Their backcourt would enter the night shorthanded, with Tyler Herro as the lone scoring option.

Meanwhile, Golden State is at near-full health. Despite their health, key contributors Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins are struggling this year.

The Warriors recent dominance could put an end to the Heat’s winning streak.
