They need to pass physicals before they’re cleared to play, which isn’t likely to happen before tonight’s game.

“I’m excited”, Drummond said following the team’s win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday (AEDT), via ESPN.
Thomas also denied any “bad blood” between him and Love, noting that the two players have known each other since middle school.
He’ll score zero in the rematch Wednesday because of a broken bone in his left hand suffered Tuesday in Cleveland’s 125-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons. But this comes at a particularly damning time for the Cavaliers.
He averages 14.7 points and 15 rebounds this season, compared to Simmons’ 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists.
Wade had missed the Cavs’ last two games after stepping away from the team early Friday. Whiteside is a hugely talented player, but he only sometimes appears to be enthusiastic about playing.
“It’s a good win for us”.
“I don’t have anything I used to have right now and I know I will at one point, but it’s just a process that I gotta really be patient with myself”, Thomas said Tuesday.
After fully reviewing his options, Love’s treatment time and an estimate on his return to play will be established. He is shooting 39.3% from the field from 13.5 shots per game, including just 27.4% from downtown.
Cleveland is 2-3 ATS with 3 overs, 1 under and 1 push over their last five games.
On the season, the Heat are averaging 100.4 points, 42.2 rebounds and 21.9 assists per game. On the season, Miami has lost by an average of 0.6 points. He also contributes 6.4 rebounds, seven assists, and 1.3 steals a night. Johnson’s previous career high was 22 points against NY on February 4, 2016.
Canaan had slashed to the rim for a layup in the waning seconds of the fist quarter and came down awkwardly, his left leg twisting beneath him.
Love, 29, has missed only one game this season, and he’s the Cavs’ second-leading scorer behind LeBron James. So I think Isaiah has just got to remain patient, pick his spots and that team will find a way to get through this adverse time, because they have too many talented players not to.
The Heat rank third in three pointers allowed per game (25.5) while the Cavaliers rank last (31.8).
“This was not as much about Kevin Love as it was a bunch of players reaching their breaking point with a culture that was increasingly hard to be a part of”, a person familiar with the organizational dynamics told B/R. On the other end of the floor, the Heat have harassed their way to the sixth-best defense in the National Basketball Association.
Miami are a unusual combination of solid players, all of whom seem to be clicking in the past few weeks.
