Will Jaime Jaquez Play Tonight? Heat Forward Suddenly Added to Injury Report

Will Jaime Jaquez Play Tonight? Heat Forward Suddenly Added to Injury Report

It looks like the Miami Heat will face the Sacramento Kings with a full-strength roster on Monday.

Heat fans unfortunately got their hopes up too quickly, as second-year forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. is now listed as questionable for the match. He was added to the injury report due to gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach).

Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson, who could not play in previous games due to personal reasons, are expected to play against the Kings. For Robinson, this marks a return to an era when Love made his first start of the season.

Here is additional information about the game:

AN OFFER CAN BE RECEIVED

Heat center Bam Adebayo on Saturday’s big game against the Washington Wizards in Mexico City: “My teammates got me going from the jump,” Adebayo said. “We’re professionals, man. When we see the ball go in a few times it’s like an ocean.

“And then you get into a flow and you lock in, it feels like the ball is going to go in your name every time.”
