This includes their previous disappointing loss against the struggling Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p> Tyler Herro\u2019s return to the lineup has caused for some inconsistent Heat rotations, compared to the group that was out there for the first 17 games of the season. However, Miami will likely be without Herro once again for tonight\u2019s road matchup versus the in-state rival Orlando Magic.<\/p>\n<p>Herro is listed as doubtful with a toe injury. Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reported that he would be undergoing an MRI for this sudden setback. The Heat\u2019s reigning All-Star guard has just gotten back to game action after offseason ankle surgery sidelined him to begin the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Norman Powell will return after missing the Mavericks game with an ankle sprain. Paolo Banchero will make his return for Orlando as well, as he was sidelined for several weeks with his own injury. Miami lost to the Magic in their season opener, and will now get to rematch. Both teams are 7-3 in their last 10 games and are separated by just one game in the Eastern Conference standings. <\/p>\n<p>Injury Report (at the time of this publishing):<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Magic:<\/p>\n<p>Moritz Wagner (knee) \u2014 OUT\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jamal Cain (g-league) \u2014 OUT\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Robinson (g-league) \u2014 OUT<\/p>\n<p>Colin Castleton (g-league) \u2014 OUT<\/p>\n<p>Miami Heat:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Herro (toe) \u2014 DOUBTFUL\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kasparas Jakucionis (g-league) \u2014 OUT<\/p>\n<p>Myron Gardner (g-league) \u2014 OUT<\/p>\n<p>Vlad Goldin (g-league) \u2014 OUT\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Terry Rozier (not with team) \u2014 OUT<\/p>\n<p>Projected Starting 5 (subject to change):<\/p>\n<p>Orlando Magic:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jalen Suggs, G<\/p>\n<p>Desmond Bane, G<\/p>\n<p>Paolo Banchero, F<\/p>\n<p>Franz Wagner, F<\/p>\n<p>Wendell Carter Jr, C<\/p>\n<p>Miami Heat:<\/p>\n<p>Davion Mitchell, G<\/p>\n<p>Norman Powell, G<\/p>\n<p>Pelle Larsson, G\/F<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Wiggins, F<\/p>\n<p>Bam Adebayo, F\/C<\/p>\n<p>Broadcast Info:<\/p>\n<p>Tipoff: 7:00 PM EST<\/p>\n<p>TV: FanDuel Sports Network Sun (Eric Reid &amp; John Crotty)<\/p>\n<p>Radio: AM 560 Sports WQAM &amp; The HEAT Radio Network (Jason Jackson)<\/p>\n<p>Spanish Radio: WAQI 710 AM &amp; The HEAT Spanish Radio Network (Jos\u00e9 Pa\u00f1eda)<\/p>\n<p>Come back to Hot Hot Hoops at game time to join our GameThread and chat about the game live with other Heat fans!<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>To check out our other content, click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hothothoops.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Twitter\/X\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hothothoops?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Instagram\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hothothoops?fbclid=PAAaZK-uxa3cMPUQcM2z6aGmK3faJ-G1R7YKtEOcPJNPO4VwfOvw1epBIoCyk_aem_Ad_aZ7zQwWkfVN5rHfd0UkIWrYEnU4j4Ulz0SRK__Qt1738L-NeQ3cZC5voFks7V6K8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Check out Hot Hot Hoops on Facebook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/1GUQbKhsRp\/?mibextid=wwXIfr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our YouTube channel\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hothothoops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Heat will get Norman Powell back, at the cost of Tyler Herro likely being out, in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[24736,139,141,140],"class_list":["post-72757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-feature-post","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
