The Golden State Warriors visit the Miami Heat on Wednesday, November 19, at FTX Arena, both teams managing key injury considerations before tip-off. Golden State has yet to submit its full injury report, which will be released closer to game time.
Miami faces multiple absences, with Bam Adebayo listed as questionable due to a left big toe sprain. Tyler Herro remains out following left ankle surgery, while Myron Gardner and Kasparas Jakucionis are unavailable on G League assignments. Terry Rozier, who is on an unpaid leave amid federal gambling investigation, will not play with the team tonight, while Dru Smith is listed as available with a right knee contusion.
The Warriors have relied on Stephen Curry for scoring, producing 27.4 points per game, supported by Jimmy Butler at 19.1 and Jonathan Kuminga at 13.8. Kuminga also leads Golden State in rebounds at 6.6 per game, while Draymond Green contributes 5.7 assists per contest.
Miami counters with Norman Powell averaging 25.5 points, followed by Adebayo at 19.9 and Jaime Jaquez Jr. at 17.1. Bam also averages 8.1 rebounds per game, while Kel’el Ware grabs 9.6 per contest. Donovan Mitchell leads the team in assists with 7.4 per game.
Golden State enters this matchup after a narrow 121-113 loss at Orlando on November 18, bouncing back from a 124-106 win over the Pelicans on November 16. Miami comes off a 115-113 win over the Knicks on November 17 but lost 140-132 to the same team on November 14.
With the Warriors’ injury status pending and Adebayo questionable, rotations and strategies may shift significantly for tonight’s 7:30 PM ET tip-off.
