Absent since preseason due to chronic ankle pain, Omer Yurtseven finally decided to move on to billiards. According to Miami Heraldthe Turkish interior will miss three months of competition, and that means we won’t see him again until mid-February, perhaps after the All-Star Game which will take place on February 19.
Still according to the daily, the lining of Bam Adebayo is hampered by a bone growth, and it is a blow for the player after his good rookie season, but also for the Heat who lack points and size in the racket.
This absence forces leaders to review their plans at the end of the bench. Thus Dru Smith, who was on a “two-way contract”, is cut, and he leaves room for Orlando Robinson, an interior. In addition, the Heat still has a free place in its workforce, and Pat Riley could decide to recruit a 4/5 for the next three months.
