The Miami Heat announced that guard Tyler Herro will not be available for Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n
ANALYSIS<\/p>\n
With Ware not suiting up to play in this one, expect the Heat to play Keshad Johnson, who is back from his G-League Assignment with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, as backup center since Nikola Jovic also is not available and Johnson has gotten the nod in the past over two-way big man Vlad Goldin.<\/p>\n
With Herro missing this game, since Norman Powell is also still out, don’t be surprised if Fontecchio makes his return to the starting lineup to keep some shooting in there.<\/p>\n
As has been the case without Andrew Wiggins for the past few games, forward Myron Gardner will almost certainly continue to start in his place.<\/p>\n
For the Wizards, Bub Carrington will likely go back to being the starting point guard with Young not available to play.<\/p>\n

Detroit has had their season that’ll make evrybody excited to compete against them and you can sense that our locker room is trying to seize the moment right now. They’re having a lot of fun competing with each other and playing to a consistent identity on both ends and so that was a cap to a pretty strong week.”<\/p>\n For more Miami Heat information and conversation, check out\u00a0Off The Floor.<\/a>Alexander Toledo is a contributor to Miami Heat On SI and producer\/co-host of the\u00a0Five on the Floor podcast<\/a>, covering the Heat and NBA.
